CHERRY

I am planning on bringing one of my Turbocharged-Intercooled, FWD Mini Vans. Sounds like fun. Chuck

That is one *fun looking piece*

We all live in NE Ohio by Canton and Akron.

I had to have my wife put the photo in here. I had NO idea as to how to do it. Chuck BTW--thanks for all the congrats.

My son, Bryan and his wife Taylor, had a Baby Boy this morning at 1:55am. His name is Ben. Ben decided that he wanted to arrive 6 weeks early and weighed in at 4 lbs / 9 oz and was 17 inches long. Ben is at NICU at the hospital for about 2 weeks. He looks great but small. Ben was almost born in the Audi on the way to hospital. Mom & Dad got there and within 5 minutes the baby was born. Scarey stuff. We were at the hospital by 3:30 am to see the proud parents. WTG Bryan and Taylor

Great Job and great video. Tell your son WTG !!! Chuck

If you are selling 13k-16k in labor only in one week then you sir are a GOD. In 2009 I averaged $11,944.92 every week in C/P labor and parts. Labor only in 2009 was $6,354.37 every week. I am honestly still learning the new computer format of Arkona at my new place. It is definitely is not my Reynolds & Reynolds System that I am use to. Chuck

No, I had a guarantee for one month. Now I get half of that plus I get commission. But I will still be $17,000.00 less there per year than I made in 2009. Chuck

I work as a Service Adviser and I love my job. What I don't like is that I have yet to find a dealership that is willing to pay for an Exceptional Adviser. MY CSI Scores average between 90 to 100 each month. In 2007 and 2009 I sold over $1,000,000.00 in parts and labor, each year. My best year was $1,037,433.01 in 2009. I averaged 2.29 tech hours for every customer pay ticket that I wrote. I wrote up 1,751 c/p tickets in 2009. My best month was June 2009 when I average $483.95 of customer pay on every ticket for the entire month. For the whole year I averaged $354.73 parts and labor for every c/p ticket that I wrote. Needless to say I am a gun for hire. I am NOT cheap I am working now at a KIA--Mitsubushi Dealership and I sold $16,310.20 in just labor within a two week time frame. That is 227.70 tech hours. I am doing this on a computer format that I have never seen until I took the job 6 weeks ago. But now I find out that my salary that we agreed on is now only half of what I asked for. Service Manager told me that the salary I was quoted was only good for the first month while I was in training. I know your pain Scott. Regards Chuck

OK, stupid question, is it still drivable on the street or race car only ?

DAMN---that is scarey, glad he is alright.

Wish you the best Mark on your quest. I will be rooting for you to get the 6.99 ET. I have NO desire to go even 6.99 in the 1/8 let alone the 1/4. I am happy at high 11's. Chuck

Al, your Challenger is beautiful. Great presentation all the way around. Do you have a roll bar in it yet ? Chuck

Even though I am a Chrysler Guy at heart, I still like Mark's Vette better than that Challenger.

Here is to a quick full recovery for your son. God Bless. Chuck

I loved the look on Simone's face once Josh started singing. Josh was the Best Singer that night in my honest opinion. I would love to hear him sing the song: Stand By Me by Ben E. King. Chuck

How old are the batteries. They have dates on the bottom of them. Can you post any pictures ? Chuck

Wow that was scarey. I am glad he is ok.

Taking the front off the Audi is not that hard. My son has done it a couple of times in our garage.

I'll watch from the sidelines, thank you very much.

That video was cute !

I believe they are 1 mile apart for a total of 5 miles.

113 mph in first 206 mph in second 299 mph in third 371 mph in fourth 426 mph in fifth http://www.speeddemon.us http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?61113-426MPH-Land-speed-record-with-a-turbo-mopar-4-cylinder!! I hope you can see the 2nd video of all the camera shots. Chuck
