Mustgofaster is right. I'm not here to advertise, and I'm not here representing Jake. I was pointed towards the thread that is the link that I posted up and noticed that my name, posts, and club website were being trashed and thought it only fair that I at least be in attendance for you to beat on over what someone else did.
To say you never heard of me might be a personal dilemma. Those who participated in the "where's Jake" thread and threatened to ruin ME and run MY name through the mud without knowing anything about me, know me quite well I assume. Otherwise, why would they want to harm me?
I'm not here to fight, or attack, or cause any more problems than all those that have been caused. But I'm also not here to be blatantly attacked for no reason either. Again, if you have problems with Jake, perhaps you should take them up with him. If you have anything due to you by my business, then that would involve me. And considering my posts from other sites, and my club's website were dragged into the issues here, that would mean that I am involved.
I have realized in the recent past that I've taken on an eye soar, and it will take me a long time to put that in the business' past. But that is my dilemma, and I am willing to attempt it.


So, I thank those who welcome me and I hope that we might get to know one another better one day. I don't feel I should be shunned or looked down upon for only trying to do right.

To get back "on-topic," my name is Neil. I live in LaCrosse and drive semi for Ashley furniture. I have been driving semi for apprx 10 years. Don't hate me, but I started life as a Chevy guy, then converted to a Honda guy. I know I'll burn in hell for posting that here, if anything. As fore mentioned by a pretty well informed individual, "I am borrowing a crap-load of money into a name that everyone here might not think too fondly of, but I AM here to ATTEMPT to change that." And to be perfectly honest, I don't really expect those who have dealt with the shop in the past to ever come back. I also don't expect those who have read the antics that have gone on to ever show up and do business with me. That's fine. I have come to the realization that I am already working at a loss because of my partner's prior dealings. I am confident in myself and my own skills that the business will fair just fine.

I got married in 05, and now have a 15 month old son. Because of my wife and son, I need to get out of trucking. I hate every minute of it. Being away from my family, I mean. It's a good living, but it's not worth that much. So, I'm hoping to fall back on my prior skills of wreching. I wrenched at a GM dealer for a while before I realized I couldn't make "enough" money working for a shop. I've driven single axle trucks for the Postal Service, driven tankers, vans, flats, just about everything.
My first car was a 64 Chevy Impala SS. I sold it to buy a house in LaCrosse........dumb. Really dumb. I've now got a Honda CRX which is a conversion to RHD with a glasstop. I have full access to importing cars, but wanted a conversion so I could keep it all legal and legit.
I started a car club apprx 2 years ago, and things have been going good. We will be attending a ton of shows this year including HIN Minneapolis, and HIN Chicago and most of the local ones to boot.

There ya go. That's all I got. lol
