              Obviously he's not the only 1 who will be working there.. He even quoted that he won't be the one working on the car.. Soo if they do good work and got good prices; we will see...
              Many business's out there have from time to time made a bad example of themselves and still succeed... But in this case, I bet the shop doesn't even open and is probably a bunch of talk. Let's see if he proves us wrong!

                Either way...

                Road Sounds is said to be the one working on his car in the near future form what he has stated here and on NA. If he is opening a shop why doesn't he have his magical workers do the work on his vehicle. If he doesn't trust them then why should anyone else, says alot for them. His attitude seems to be a larger turn off than anything though. Seems as though there really isn't a market for another shop in Fargo. Basicaly all areas of the car scene are covered, who are you marketing to.

                Most people with cars already are loyal to a shop in town with much more experience than someone who cannot do there own tunning and for reason. Tufte has been tunning and rodding cars since I have met the kid in high school, and has made some what of a name for himself, no offense but he has even worked in most of the shops in town at one time or another learning from experience. Shane has also done the same he was working and tunning Hondas and every other car in GF were he has dominated the market for years, from the White Civic with Green tint with the Giant wing, I envied in highschool at the local shows in GF damn near 10 yrs ago, to his ITR and other vehicles. You really have no roots in the scene and trying to plant them by causing drama and talking crap is not a very good start.

                  OH SHIT, I almost forgot. He didn't lose all his customer base. What about the bosnians. They'll pay loads of money for shit. All he has to do is cater to them and he may have a successful business.

                        I am just curious how many of your people working at your shop are certified, or have installed more than 3 cd players in there entire life? Just because I have cleaner installs than best buy when I am half asleep doesn't mean I can just go open up a shop, treat people like crap, and expect to make it. Go ahead, open your shop. But be forewarned, your business will reflect on how well you treat your customers, wiht prices, installation, and above all-customer service.

                                That's incredibly racist! why not say that black people are automatically thugs or that jewish people are tight with money, or that asians only know how to do computers! Racist punks!

                                    Well, if he is smart.. He'll try and market not just the local area.. Depending on what all he does, but for most cases, labor is where the $$ is at.. Maybe he can try and swing in other customers with other ideas for cars... Not just an import scene in generalll..
                                    Ex:'s.. OilChanges, Detailing, Tune-Ups, Get contracts w/ Audio Dealers, Accessories, etc
                                    Anyways, the $$ needed to start a business is quite high; esp. since he'll have to make a name for himself and that could take a long time.. How are you going to pay your employees if your not getting business?? Some loans will be needed, insurance, and purchase of tools, and have stock of whatever else you try and sell... The list goes on..
                                    But I question myself. medium cust. service and great work vs. great cust. service and medium/poor work.. I'd take the med. cust/serv over the great cust/serv and med/poor work, cuz the work is permanent, the cust/serv is just how you feel about the place.

                                      How is that not racist against bosnians? Hell, even LT1 was semi racist!

                                      I wanted to go into hiding but christ, when asians are making mexican comments then you know this shit is wrong! You would think that the asians would band against that retarded thinking. Racism is rampant in f/m area, even among us minorities

                                        saying that bosnians tend to spend a lot of money...is not racism...
