Ther 240 atl post:
As of the end of this week CCR will officially no longer be in business. I told myself when I started this venture so many years ago that when it started getting in the way of my love of racing and building cars I would walk away. Everyone tells you growing up to find something you love and make a career out of it. This really isn't a good idea because it turns what you once loved into a job and it becomes work, not a love. I'm walking away while I still have the passion and the love for what I do. Business has been great but that only compounds the problem and the stress of worrying if everything is getting done and then maintaining the business side of things. The shop will still be here and I'll still be doing some minor things on the side but it will mostly be a "man cave" as my mother puts it. Its just an extension of my garage and a place that allows Tripper and I to store and play with our cars when we feel like it and not have to have all that stuff at home. I'm moving up to being a Mechanical Engineer to use my talents in a more stable environment and keep my passion for cars separate so that I can still enjoy it. Its an opportunity for me to make significantly more money and still keep what I love and the facility to do it in. I guess I get my cake and can eat it too for once. Anyone who wants to get ahold of me can still email me at Ryan@coolcatracing or reach me on the other methods if you know my number. I'll still be on the forums as well so don't think I'm going anywhere.
