Who is this raby guy or shop?

At the end of the day, we are all free to post, or not. Of course someone in his trade with his experience is welcomed and appreciated. I have seen him thanked many times.

Other times, some posts have warranted or deserved what was said. Nobody appreciates all the drama over swapping parts preemptively. No need to go farther down that road.

As for advertising, his knowledge and simple helpful replies are the best advertising he could ever ask for. These forums are browsed by hundreds who never sign up or post. And so what if it does equal "advertising"? His contributions to others who have a tech question certainly earn him some credit. I have yet to see a "I am Flat 6 and this is what I do" post, and so what if he did? Apparently there are several on here that are satisfied customers.

Ford said " A man who tries to save money by not advertising is like stopping a clock to save time". Point being if he is doing it from a marketing standpoint...GREAT! I can tell from reading Jakes' posts, money means very little to him. Numerous times he has stated he lives, breathes eats motors, period. If it is for marketing only, whatever happened to location, location, location. He is in the Carolinas hiding in the woods somewhere. He is readily available by phone, from what I have been told by 2 men, and have to have an appointment. I think if he won the lottery he would not change a thing. Do what you love and the money comes. I have noticed that when you are among the few at the top ...you become a easy target. P.S there are alot of ways to market your buisness much less time consuming and far more effective than this forum, basically for the diy guys or someone using it as a consumers guide. PSS. Jake if you ever do want to market yourself or your buisness my wife owns a terrific agency in N.E. Fl. lol

If you ask me whats in the bank, I don't even know... Accounting hasn't yelled at me in a decade about not having enough to pay the bills, and thats all I care about.

I win the lottery everyday, by being able to do exactly what I want to. I've never had a "job" and other than Uncle Sam (USMC) I've never had a paycheck that I didn't sign myself. I had my first paying customer for an engine build at age 13.

Actually, its Georgia.. But we don't have to be anywhere else, and I wouldn't even if I needed to. We have Porsches here from 30 states, and as long as there's still an Interstate system and diesel fuel we are only 3 days transit away from anyone in North America.

We have a 996 inbound from Anchorage Alaska for an IMSR job just as soon as the weather will allow it. I have cars here now from Vancouver Canada and Nova Scotia. shipping is cheap she you're a broker :-)

When I retire can I come work for you? I speak german, I am mechanically adept (started working on cars at age 10 and earned a AS degree in automotive mechanics by age 16), have a degree in finance and 20 years of experience in HR (compensation and benefit). Willing to do any work.
