OLD MAN-NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

[J MAN]

Hey this is J Man, :jester:

I just wanted to give a shout out to all the Import Atlanta Brothers & SIsters.

You have been very Cool with me coming to your site. I am greatful for your hospitality:goodjob:

Here is the Low Down on the J Man.

At 38 I had an Awakening. I was the Parts Manager for Alan Cox Automotive & had been there for 11 years. My job was starting to bore me & I needed something differnt.

I had heard about this Tuner World that was taking the country by storm for several years & I said why not.
I talked my boss into letting me start a Performance Division within the company & we are now in our 4th year & I am having a blast.:yay:

I am 42:eek: now & I am proud to say our Car Club, Redline Auto Club has Grown from 5 to 55.
My passion is going on the Road Tracks. I have driven at Little Talladega Grand Prix in Ala & Roebling Road in Sanannah. Our Club is going back to Roebling Road in November with Chim Motorsports for a 2 day Track Event.

I have a wife & two kids & I teach Sunday School for the 7th grade boys at First Redeemer Church.
Dont treat me any differant than anyone else. Jesus kept it real & was part of every comunnity & thats what I try to do as well.

Alan Cox Automotive has grown in the Performance World but I would not say that we are the best Performance shop in the Atlanta area, but I would say that we are part of it.
In fact it has been my goal to build relationships with the other Performance Shops & people in the Tuner World in order to not only make us better but to offer our Customers & Club Members the very best of both Worlds.

We have a good relationship with folks in the Marietta area & even farther out of our area.

Alan Cox Automotive has been a Honda & Acura Specialty in the Marietta Area for 23 years. This year we hired a Performance/Maintanence Tech that is diverce with multiple Import Models. His name is Justin. His passion is working on Mazda's. He is a member of MOCA (MX3 OWNERS CLUB OF AMERICA).

Sherry is the Owner & Office Manager. She along with Alan Cox started the Bussiness together 23 years ago. Alan left the company about 10 years ago & Sherry continues to push on.

Jeremy is our Honda/Acura Performance Specialist. His specialty is Honda S2000s & Acura Integras. He learned everything on S2000s the hard way so if you have a question about doing upgrades on S2000s it might be worth a call.

Jon is our Auto Cross/Road Race Guy. Suspensions & Tires are his claims to fame.

Marshall is our Maintanence King. He has been with us for 16 years. He has a fully restored 1979 Honda Accord Hatch Back that looks like it came off the Show Room Floor. He has a 1989 Accord LXI Coupe that is almost as nice. He is a Original Equipment only guy.

Chris is our Shop Forman & has been with us for 19 years. He helped me get the Performance Division started. He blew his back out a few years ago so now he is our Jedi Master. He drives a 1994 Honda Accord Ex Wagon. Its Tricked out on a Mild Scale & looks great.

Nick is our Service Manager. He has been with us for 7 years. He knows more about Recalls, Service Bullitens, & what your car needs to keep it on the road than I will ever think about.


Hey it probably is not Cool to promote the Shop so much with out paying some dues. Who do I talk to about Advertisement?

Our Shop has 9 Lifts, 3 Flatt Stalls, Alignment Machine, & a big Service Isle.

We dont have a Dyno but we do have a Wide Band O2 Sensor & Data Loger so that you can do Minor Air Fuel Adjustments & with Drivability Tuning.

Hey, just a word about the Car Show(REDLINE INVITATIONAL).
I would appreciate it if any of the Club Officers could at least come out & critique the Show & talk to me about how you can be a part of it next year & make it better.

I think I got this Sucking Up Stuff down pat;) . Dont run with that:jester:

Enough about me.

Tell me some stuff about you.
How did you become the Rap Daddy Funk Master that you are?

Well I asked, so no1 will flame you. You can talk to "Julio" or "Admin" (both screenames) and they will square you away as far as getting banner on the site. I am looking for one of these though --> http://forums.importatlanta.com/showthread.php?t=59472

Maybe your guy Marshall can assist?
