Sure you know that being the business savvy man you are. The amount invested on each persons behalf was large if you want to look at it in terms of lucrative assets. In the end it comes down to just what dave said, to many mindsets in to many directions. I did not get into this business to change transmissions in dump trucks or replace a motor in a 1990 volvo. Simply not what I choose to do with my free time. An thats what the shop became, a crash and bang shop with a focus on oil changes on pickup trucks taking mouse turds out of dodge vipers and replacing gates on landscape trailers. Not what I choose to do with my time. It is what is it is, at least I enjoy working on cars again. Working day in and day out to provide for everyone other than myself is no longer in my cards. Wish Eric the best and hope he does well. Hes talented at what he does just as mike and myself are at what we do. Life goes on. In fact I just finished replacing a trunk floor, cowl, deck lid and straightening a door on a 48 ford sedan. Had fun doing it, beat working late to make sure someones alternator worked on there honda, but to each there own. I also have a model a frame to build for someone next week. The way CRC became just was not what we want it to be. It will never be that again. Idk about you, but I wouldnt pay for something one already has to contribute to a business lol… Eric was a mechanic and had his box and tools already exsisting so why would anyone pay for something that is already there? 20k is what I see it taking to open that shop… 2500 per month rent, first last and security so thats $7,500, down payment on utilities, llc and legal paperwork and im sure some new tools and what not. And no offense, but being a repair shop, doing trannys on 1990 volvo and cleaning mouse turds while replacing a fuel pump on a viper kind of goes with the territory… Thats what you opened up for… Hell, you guys didnt even do or plan on doing powdercoating when you first opened up… Maybe you just realized that you dont like being a regular old repair shop like you did in the beginning which is honestly where the steady and profitable work comes from. I know you guys idolize orange county choppers and ricks restoration and shit, but the reality is, 80% of those “specialty” shops dont make it… Regaurdless, I like you and your brother alot and wish you guys the best. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-site-fucking-sucks/267887)._
