thanks guys any other questions let me know

**Jamie** · 01-17-2007, 05:06 PM

very nice jim!

**crxforum** · 01-17-2007, 05:11 PM

I read the whole thing. Its a nice write up. I was trying to do the math on 8000 cars a year x oil spraying cost, factoring in the $5 off coupons, then adding in the rust proofing etc. I got numbers ranging from $200K - $500K so I dont know. The best line is your dad talking about his grade 12 education. Kinda like 'I went to school. Now I make money. Got a problem with that?' LOL made me smile.

THAT is what makes this place better then any other.

When I get some cash together, you bet I'll be in!

Just remember about all the overhead that is on top of that, just remember Crix those numbers are just sales, there's huge amounts of other costs on top of that!

**crxforum** · 01-17-2007, 05:31 PM

Oh I know, but you need to remember that I have grade 11 General math as my highest math credit. So Im retarded. LOL

**Jimmy** · 01-17-2007, 05:31 PM

great to hear everyone's positive thoughts, oh and Magicalretard, if we get a couple dry days in a row, bring the car in, its by no means to late, as long as the bottom of your car is dry and free of slush, we are here and spraying, but try to get in soon, most of february we will be closed due to getting a new hoist and the concrete work to make it a zero clearance hoist, and then the last week in february we will be on holidays.

**Jimmy** · 01-17-2007, 05:33 PM

oh and just so everyone knows, by the time we get back from holidays in the beginning of march, we will be up and running with a completely zero clearance hoist, that means for all you kitted and lowered cars out there, if you can get out of your driveway, you'll be able to get on our hoist!

**crxforum** · 01-17-2007, 05:38 PM

Sounds good Jim. Ill be sure to swing by when you get that installed. I bet all that time of having to haul out those ramps for lowered cars gets frusterating.
