    Default lame as hell!

    alright, so check this out... my boy started this business more than 10yrs ago in miami called "FINAL PHASE." it was mostly a performance shop, but he also fixed cars & bikes. he moved up to GA about 5yrs ago (and still uses his business name to do side work), and we both worked at this sorry ass repair shop up the street.

    Alright, so today this chick i know comes by for me to work on her car. she's sitting at the kitchen table and we're talking, and i see this business card on the table. i turn it over, and it reads "FINAL PHASE PERFORMANCE" and has the names "maurice & johnny." the card looks EXACTLY like my boy's card...same words, pictures, color, EVERYTHING. the chick told me some dude gave it to her at autozone.

    come to find out, the dude maurice is a dude who used to work at that other shop with us. he basically stole my boy's business name (added performance to the end of it) and even copied his business card. that's like starting a pizza shop and calling it "PIZZA HUT PIZZA." anyhow...pretty lame...
