Still, isn’t he like 40 something? The crowd there is like 18-25.
Ya got me there. haha
He’s in his 30’s still. Whats wrong with going out and having a good time, its not like the dude is 60 :lol
Most of your posts make me want to punchasize your face…
but this made me :rofl
Howard Stern might have less $
howard tuned my 03 cobra, no complaints here, the car ran good ,made great power. So as far as im concerned hes a good guy, he was very helpful to me and gave me lots of good advice.
Think ya might be in the wrong thread Jammer… :lol
the only thing I am confused about is why Did the OP email him to notify that he was selling his car??
prolly just to get the word out there
ahhh… the key to amurrica
Nothing wrong with going out and having a good time, but Envy? I would think he’d go somewhere with an older crowd.
Slomarro lol kinda like u swallowing joe nuts…,i seem his dirt stains on ur face still…,
On the subject though…howard is a great guy and who cares if he goes to.envy lol…he goes there cause a friend of his runs security there and also had howard build his car which i must say sounds great and runs real good…,id be willing to bet 95 percent of the haters on here if u met howard on a clean slate u would all see he’s a good dude and will help anyway he can…and like any human shit happens and doesn’t go perfect everytime…
I could say there quite a few people on here that i could trash and talk all kinds of dirt about but guess what…in person they may actually be good people…i’ve just never had the chance to meet them and in here they come off as huge DBAGS…computer and in person are two different worlds
Greg, youre a jerk! :lol
All your guys shops suck.
Successful enough to earn a shop isn’t the same as having money to build the shop prior to opening. Like someone else mentioned, mega capital behind it makes it easier to look like a million dollar business… on paper.
A business is a business… make money. If you want to make the most money you can, sell to the highest paying customer base. mostly people that dont “know” what they are buying, just sign the check and pass it across the table. Transaction is complete, see you later enjoy your car.
If you open a business to continue hobby, like apparently he did… making money shouldn’t be a top priority. Working with customers to build your knowledge base and getting chances to build something awesome should in my mind be their real goals, customer support and relationships would be priority #1, and doing just enough profit wise to keep it afloat.
Not trying to put myself at Redlines level, but that how I roll. All the side work I do for people on and around here, I do for practice, to learn more, to build relationships, and make just enough money to buy the new tools each job usually requires so that at some point I can open my own business and actually make money and be more productive. My father’s business is a great example of producing top shelf results from a “shitty looking shop”. He has not once advertised the business name in 30 years, it’s been up and running off customer relationships, good customer relationships. They roll up to your house in a 2004 F250Super duty and a 2008 econoline van, 3 people get out and get to work. They only build HIGHEND kitchens, baths, additions, and remodeling projects for some of the richest people I ever met and in some of the most expensive houses I ever walked into. Kitchens costing more than T-money’s ZR1 WITH MODS, and additions costing more than most of your houses! If the customer ever saw the shop, they would think twice! BUT the same 3 people have been doing this for so long, and respect the customers 24/7 110%. If they have to turn down work, for whatever reason my father will call them back and tell them why, or work a deal and put them on the waiting list for work a year+ from then. Never ever NOT call them back like they did to Adam.
And if someone is sellign their house, like OP is with the vette, my father would only be 100% positive for the customer. Knowing if they stay in the area still (like the OP staying in performance cars) if he kept the relationship strong and professional, they might come back for more work, or better yet, recommend them to other potential customers.
Slowmarro one question? What magazines or technical articles has your “joe” done for magazines like Hotrod or Gm high performance? What cars has he produced that are in National magazines? I do not know your “Joe” or “You” but it sounds to me like a little jealousy going around in this place. I have only met Howard once at a car show in Saratoga. He was more than pleasant. I have seen many national articles that include his shop and his cars. Who are YOU? who is JOE?
So you do not like the guy. DO not go to him. But be a man and stop hiding behind your computer. It is apparent you are just trying to promote your buddy “Joe”
I for one think it is pretty lame for someone to post a reply that someone else has sent in an email. Even if he was a little rough with his response. Turbo post your information on your vette. I am sure we can find a buyer.
It seems to me like he has gotten busy. The locals are not happy that he does not give them the attention they demand. So the bashing starts flowing. Sounds to me like he is doing something right.
I know I will draw fire. I had to call Slowmarro out. he is the one with the arrogance and most of his posts show it.
APG FTMFW!!! WOOO WOOO!
+rep!
