For those that have wondered where I disappeared too.. Very few of you. But I was a regular in the 1 hour photo section. I recently switched jobs. I never wanted to give the name of the place I used to work cause they people I worked with weren't very pleasant. I worked at Hawaii Racing for nearly 5 years. Til one of my customer's liked me soo much they asked me to join forces with them. Now I work over at Galpin Auto Sports. As a parts specialist. Pretty much doing the same thing I did at Hawaii Racing. But the atmosphere here makes all the difference. I have benefits now. And more opportunities to move up. Those that don't know this place. It became popular with the filming of "Pimp My Ride." Even though most of the cars on that show were hideous. It's not what we are all about. I see ton's of exotics, and the whole range of mustangs. From new to old. Here are some examples of things that have been done here.

We also have a showroom here that has a wide variety of cars. First gen Shelby Mustangs/race cars, Ford Gt's, Saleen s7, Spyker C8, and a bunch of old Ed Roth cars.

This job for me is a dream come true.

Congrats on your new job. Sounds like you're very happy there. Post up some stuff they do from time to time. Custom Mustangs are usually really nice.

Good dealership, that's where I bought my Cobra back in 2002.
Only place in LA that was not charging an "Added Dealer Profit" on the 03 Cobra back then.

:lol: You don't know what you're in for.

pretty much. give it 2 weeks.

I worked there for 5 months and after the first couple weeks i wanted to slit my wrists. I thought it was a bad ass job at first too. I dont want to kill your joy, i just want to give you a heads up. The place is shanky.
