I just want to let everyone know that Im no longer employed at Mainstream Performance. Me and charles decided to split amicably and to part ways as friends.

Do not ask for specifics, it was a great time, i enjoyed my run there, i wish them ALL THE LUCK in the world and i harbor no ill will. Good luck to them in the future.

Please PM:
Main Stream
EmminoDagreat

if you need work done or if your car is up there , they will take care of you. I no longer have any official ties to the shop. I just want to cutdown on PMs from potential an existing former customers.

Again, do not speculate what happened, do not throw accusations around, it was not a big deal, an there was no drama involved. It just was simply time for me to move on.

Good luck to Charles, Mainstream and TDF in the near future (and rob an chris as groupies)

so 80 grand was your buy out????

damn... and i just talked to you on the phone like 2 hours ago..

Vteckidd
05-25-2007, 04:42 PM
so 80 grand was your buy out????

NO.

I said dont make accusations or assumptions. :???:

There was no buy out, there was no fight, it was just simply we both had different ideas an different philosophys.

We used to be good friends an toward the end we got on each others nerves and rather than fight, we chose to just go our seperate ways. no big deal, in this life it happens.

as i said, we parted as friends, not enemies. again i wish them luck in the future

Although i like to think i had a major impact at the shop and im responsible for getting it to where it is now,

Charles is the owner, he is the one that started the business. He is now in control. Im not sure what there plans are for them,if they will hire someone to replace me, or if charles will be the front office now.

But youll need to contact him to find out whats going on with your cars. DO not panic, its not like Mainstream is closing its doors.

There will be some growing pains im sure, charles will have to get up to speed on everyones cars, what parts he needs etc now that im not there.

Best thing i can say is be patient and contact him on Tuesday :
