I was thinking last night about this. I feel like IA is my family. Not because I get a chance to hang out all that often, but because I spend all day here 6 days a week. I'm on a lot of other forums, but I really don't post on them all that much. Really just to check out what everyone is talking crap about this week. I know that we have a shop and that we have to present some sort of professionalism. The problem is that I'm me. I try real hard not to be me for the sake of the shop.

I guess a lot of times we sound like assholes to the rest of the world...but it is really hard being us. That sounds kind of whiney and I hate it, but it's the truth. We pay our bills with money earned at the shop. None of us 3 here are independently wealthy. A lot of times we think we aren't going to be able to make it. Our percieved value is a lot bigger than we actually are. I know that is definatley a blessing for a business that has only been open for 4.5 years, so I'm not complaining. BUT with that comes a lot of crap! I had a conversation once with a fellow who thought that we have tons of techs, tuners and professionals running around here. He thought that at the snap of a finger we could get a part here. He thuoght that's why we have fast cars. He didn't understand that this is our garage...just like it's yours at home. We just pay more money to have one as big as ours We are a small fish in a big ass pond! We have 2 professionals running around here...their names ar Dan and Brandon. It takes us just as long to get parts as anyone else...shop or otherwise. As a matter of fact, I think sometimes it takes longer for us. I ordered pistons for my car 2 weeks ago from a place that had them in stock, but somehow they are not here yet. They're an Evo shop in another state. Kind of ironic how that happens. People think that because we have a shop, that we are ballers. When in all actuallity, because of this shop we are broke! People just know our name now. Kind of like Outkast back in the day I'll leave ya'll with this

Got stopped at the mall the other day
Heard a call from the other way
that I just came from, some nigga was sayin somethin
talkin bout "Hey man, you remember me from school?" smoke some
Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
facial expression lookin silly
And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got buku of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been goin through tha same thing that he had
True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
to the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
If you don't move yo' foot then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck
Yes we done come a long way like them Slim ass cigarettes
from Virginia, this ain't gon stop so we just gonna continue

Yes I love it! All 3 of us here love it. But it's getting harder when so much rides on loving it.

And I am truly trying not to be whiney. I'm just letting ya'll in to a little of our troubles. Thus, this post by Brandon.

[TKellarB]

I will miss Brandon's nekkid escapades throughout the somber night's wind.

So when are we drinking again?

[green91]

stopping now wont erase the impression your shop has already left on the internet

[JITB]

Yeah so can I, but he cant.

Matt

kinda late but...i dont know any of these cars. but ive heard of many many 400+hp awd talons/eclipses/evo's. That was my comment, your gettin all crazy about it.

[lemansz]

I think that Brandon is just kind of tired of the cars he builds not getting the respect they should.

I mean come on a 522whp EVO, yeah lots of those around.

404hp wrx, yeah other shops are putting those out by the dozens.

They build so many sick cars I cant even keep count, it almost seems boring when you are hanging out, like 500-600hp is the norm.

Matt

what a dumb A, to actually call yorself a baller.

big money

lol
is that a joke?

[Big Baller]

The name was given to me.

Oh and we can compare bank accounts if you like

Really? Funny that people have forgotten a lot of things that have happened on the internet that I remember.

But, I see no need to argue with you about that since we're not trying to erase our impression that we have left on the internet, we are just tired of defending ourselves. They're going to put their energies elsewhere. Like I said...I ain't going anywhere, brah

His name isn't big baller because of how much $$$ he has (although he is a business owner). And I actually gave him that name, he's a good customer of mine. It has to do with part of his last name. His little brother's SN is Baller on this board, although he rarely posts. So it only makes sense that his name be Big Baller. It used to be SloWRX, amongst other things, until the site went down and bannings and stuff .

I won't tell his last name. Most people already know it. I'll let him tell if he wants.

Lemanz, I'll beat that hiney and you will like it :P

[chnco]

Oh yea, balling out of control, straight to the jizail!!

[JITB]

Oh yeah, everybody knows a guy.
