i think you should do tv and radio ads with lots of 20v audi bashing and 20v rulz. People will surely flock.

Taco Performance, heres your billboard.

Owning a business is quite the opposite of freedom, now you are a slave to yourself.

But you are the boss all the way down to the janitor, it takes lots of patience to wear all the hats at once.

Good luck!

And dont forget 25v rulz!

congrats on taking the leap. Now is the time before you have a house, wife, husband, kids whatever. Takes balls to go out on your own, best of luck.

Agreed. The roller coaster aint over yet for a while. I'm figuring it's going to take about 2 months to get into a nice smooth rhythm.

I know for sure I want to hire another mechanic within the first 2 months or beginning of January. If anyone is interested, I think I am going to seek out someone that is experienced in custom works as well as general repair. Would be even better if they knew basic machine equipment too (lathe, saw, welder, etc)

signed all the paperwork today. My soul is officially owned by the bank now for the next few years.

But the good news is I can use the business as collateral now. Cutting the check to the owner of the business tomorrow at 3:30 :)
