I went up there a couple days after that happened. Steve was a good guy and still let me show up for the dyno/tune that we had agreed upon before it happened. They left some stock RX8 catbacks lol. I guess they really are worthless. Hope those guys get to be someone's bitch in jail.

That thread said 150k worth of stuff, man that sucks. :(

that sucks! Probably an inside job from the sound of it.

Just a reminder to keep your eyes/ears open, so far I haven't heard or noticed anything here in Austin yet .

WOW, that was a TON of stuff stolen from them. :( The bastards that did it will get caught, no way you can move that kind of inventory without raising some suspicion.

That's what I was thinking, I figure maybe this post might be my little itty bitty tiny bit of help I can give those dudes, they're one of a handful of shops in Texas that are actually worth a crap, much less knowledgeable as far as rotaries go. I just hope our neighbors in the surrounding states get word and keep a lookout for odd sales coming out of nowhere, either that stuff is floating around here or it made it over the border, who knows, just my hope and prayer that whoever did it kicked in the balls and run over by the karma train and that Gotham can turn it into something positive somehow. :)

that sucks...its too bad insurance takes a long time to give back the money though. Something like this happened to my dad's business a while back. too bad...this really sucks for Gotham.

shit man, if anything they probably need your bidness now more than ever, if I lived closer I'd be looking for excuses to go over there and have something done lol

not sure that is 100% true. sure it would be nice that they get more business, but they should be receiving a nice lump sum of money from insurance soon. their client base is still there, they are just lacking the tools and supplies to do more work on cars. in this case, it seems that they have too much business because they dont have the tools to back it up. lets hope for a speedy recovery....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^ ahh okay, that's great to hear, there are soooooo many shady shops/bidnesses out there I really hate to see a legit one take a hit or fail due to something like this.

just a friendly reminder, keep eyes/ears open, sooner or later this will haunt whoever did it. :)
