Welcome to the IHoP v.2

How it worked at my shop stuff marked at MAP would be sold at that price. But if a whole system is bought its usually dropped below MAP.

I was install manager for this company for four years.  I can MAP the Primo (which will destroy a W6) 15% cheaper, give the dealer a higher margin, plus give the salesman a 5% spiff.

Talked to the owner a few months ago and he was interested.  It would be nice to pick up an account that does ~200k a month in sub and amp sales

Yeah we'd average about 2-3g a day. 5k atleast once or twice a week big installs.

That is crazy. I hope it works out man!

I didn't know people regularly spend that much on their systems anymore! Wow.

Well we have something called MCS which is financing for the military, and we're right next to Fort Levenworth so a lot of soldiers come in and get stuff. But Our shop is one of the biggest and does the most big installs.

Also, from what I was told, JL is fading out the slash series and they do not currently have a regulated 1,000 watt amp.  So they don't have an amp to power the W7

About the Audi shop guy... one of my coworkers is a big Euro guy. He said the GT2s were speed density systems, not MAF. So I went and looked at the engine... several of them... Not a MAF in sight. Interesting...

I am stuck in a debate here guys. I love my Tundra. Minus the flakey MPG, she's been pretty great to me. But with my severance check, I am debating on spending about 20k paying her off, or trading it in on something else. The ONLY issues I have had is over the last two weeks my cigarette lighters/charging ports quit working(changed fuse tonight but no change) the USB quit charging my cell (prolly bad cable as it charged my iPod fine) and the antenna came loose today.

She does everything I ask and has ample room (comfortable fit 3 220lb+ men and 2 women in it for a 3 hr each way trip two weeks ago) and the towing has been great to me. I just. Don't know if I should get something else.

I have been contemplating a Raptor, a Jeep STR8, or a F150 harley edition.

Blowing your severance on something you won't have in 5 years is FUCKING STUPID.

If you can't afford it with what you do for a living then you can't afford it.  Personally I even think your Tundra purchase wasn't in order fitting with your income.  I am with Seth, if I can't afford to pay cash I won't own it.  My car is a unique situtation in that I don't have to buy it.  If I did, I'd be driving something as fun but way older and done depreciating.  My M5 was a classic example.  I CAN afford to spend a bunch, but will NEVER.  Just dumb.  It's a fucking car.

In fact, most everyone i know would prefer AWD to FWD.

FWD is the worse propulsion mechanism there is

[///M5 2,833]

Seth, you are the man.

I am a drive it until it breaks in half kinda guy also. I won't give up on that old Ford. LoL I know you would have dumped that thing by now.

Mr Ford hater.

I wish there was a shop with you in it closer.

 

Move to North Carolina

Almost got to stop by this week. Working with NC, but met them at Langley. Good though as I had some other consulting work to do on the new minivan err space shuttle

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt

AAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND I'm spooked on an A3 for another year. Thank you.

I think it would be fun working on cars like that.

Sure, for those of us with the time, space, money, tools, equipment, skills and spare car.

I mean from a service point. It would help me understand why they do some of the crazy shit they do. Not sure if I would ever own something like that.

I really love all that something like an A3 or RS6 have specs wise; manual/AWD/good power with huge potential/wagen/great handling/aftermarket parts etc. etc., but the cost to maintain, insure and in general own, is just out of the realm of what I am comfortable opening my wallet up to. So few wagens available with similar features. Pretty much leaves it to a Speed3/STI/A3/328i. C-class wagen is gone and was never offered in manual, E55AMG is $$$ and not manual and so on.

You know, for years i've been trying to figure out why the Speed3/Focus/C30 has not received AWD. They've done it in EU (Focus) without adding cost, so why can't they do it here?

 

What ? AWD Focus in Europe? I'll have to check but I don't think there is an AWD Focus

 

I thought the RS was AWD?

so camera peeps, if i were to sell all of my camera gear as a set.. what do you guys think would be a reasonable price to sell it off at?

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

About the Audi shop guy... one of my coworkers is a big Euro guy. He said the GT2s were speed density systems, not MAF. So I went and looked at the engine... several of them... Not a MAF in sight. Interesting...

 

Could have swapped over the speed density for MAF when the turbo was installed?

The dutch are copying us. One tipped over here last week and created quite a ruckus.

[///M5 2,833]

60-70% of new. Probably closer to 60, maybe less as the kit lens is basically worth nothing.

I got a job, and my own office and shit.
