Default Corvette Doctor Class ACT ~~~!!

On my way down to LI for work today, I decided to stop in and say hello to Carmen. It was a few minutes before Carmen came in and said hello to me. He was very busy and I asked if he had a few minutes to talk. We went to his office disscussed some minor bolt on's, Im only 26 and $$$ sometimes can hard to find for hobbies. We finally decided on a Kirbin Shifter, Kooks headers, Cats, Tune and 4.10 gear swap.

He asked me if I was hungry and I said yes and we ordered from a deli. To my surprise, he picked the tab up on lunch for me. I wasnt expecting this and gladly thanked for Lunch.

I must say this is how You Do Business ~!
Thanks again Carmen !!!

Carmen obviously knows that taking a little time now to talk things over with a potential customer can pay off in the long run. Wish we had a shop like that here.

Well I just wanted to let people know that sometimes the little things in life go a long way.................


On the phone with my old man and its funny how he kinda downs play my mods fever.
Here he was at my age with 1966 -442 - W30 driving up to dover dragstrip and elsewhere.
And he wonders where I get this stuff from... He said gas was cheaper and when he threw in 4.11's and was in 4th gear he was up around 3 grand on the tach. How the times have changed........
