Have you looked into the price of a new awd dyno?

I am sure both of you parents can explain the importance and necessity of a good business plan. It is there to keep you focused and to guide you through problems. As an outsider looking in on what you are wanting to do i can see that one of the week points is that your scope of interest is to large. It sounds like you want to do everything on every kind of car. With being that general in your scope of work is not a recipe for success.

Chris, I really think you should reconsider having such a broad focus. I think its awesome that you have such great goals and I would really love to see you succeed. The problem is many of the areas you want to enter are not as compatible as you may think; there is a reason none of the big name import performance companies also build muscle cars (and vice-versa). Specialization is key and will be one of the best things you can do in order to become successful (as they say, "a jack of all trades is a master of none"). Of the areas of focus you listed I think you should really consider which one of those you are best at, then work your *** off and become the best around at that one specialization (look at ETS for example). I'm not trying to be negative, I would really like to see you succeed, and I think specializing is going to be your best bet.

They keep delaying. Surgery is set for around 2, but that means probably 3-5 on doctor time


i feel good though, no pain, no meds, just need to get fixed.

But man am I hungry lol

Yeah i stayed over night, they addmited me yesterday, telling me they would fit me in yesterday, 5 oclock comes and my nurse says i can eat, because they are waiting until tomorrow (today). My surgen is at Swedish hospital in Seattle, amazing hospital. A+ in my book.



EDIT-- I was pissed they didnt do it yesterday, I wasted all that time not eating..
