I'm retiring
 

Just a heads up that I won't be building Combo's anymore starting next month. Mike and Brian at the shop will be doing them and I will be around to help out. I will be tuning still.

This comes from from busy work schedule.Can't handle 90+hr's a week anymore.

As some know Mike and Brian have built some of the Nastiest Stangs in the country.They are the only mechanics I trust touching LS1 work and I have full faith in them.In the past they have built a few cars for me that came out great.

then now you will have time to work on your race car.....

Very smart choice Don Family and happiness are far greater things then money.

:cry: :(

Sounds like a smart decision to me, enjoy all the time off.

Has nothing to do with the $$.My other job offer's as much OT I would want.
Right now I spend about 10hr's a week at home.Not enough :bang:

As for the race car.Not even enough time to even think about it.Maybe this winter. Shit,I bought a bike over a month ago and only put 400 miles on it and 3/4 of that was going to work. :bang:

I've always wondered, what IS your other job? Just curious.

certainly cant blame ya don. i never have understood how you pulled off working so many hours anyway, lol.

good luck... I have been there done that.. years ago.. took like 4-5yrs. for me to see it. and I am still burnt out from it.. Makes you not want to touch or work on anything. Let me know when you want to come down just to relax and shoot the shit..

Sad to hear it Don. But, I fully understand. You gotta take time and enjoy life and your family. Glad to hear you are still tuning though.

Mike and Brian are great guys I would absolutely let them work on my car.

cant blame ya don, its defiently time you get to actully enjoy stuff instead of workin your life away espically with the family and everything not to mention youll be able to actully sleep now. now start enjoying the relaxation sir :judge?

Don, you are truely one of the most knowledgeable and respected GM Gen III engine and 4th Gen. F body and Corvette C5 powertrain and chassis personnel in the whole country. You have always been a person who treats EVERYONE equally and fairly, which is a quality that is rare in today's day and age. We met some years ago, now, and it seems like yesterday that you set up my stock '02 A4 SS to run consistent low 12.30's w/just a 3200 stall converter, 3.23's, good tires, and a little suspension work. I'm happy that you will finally be able to find time to spend more quality time with your wonderful wife and family. Let me be one of the first on this site to thank you for all your knowledge, craftsmanship, and integrity. Slowing down just a little is great--take it from the old man.... :devil: Best wishes. WJ

wussy

WJ.... you went a little overboard with the respect and knowledge.. come on... Don's just a dink with a wrench... :jest:

Err, reading it this morning kinda makes my stomach roll a little, but maybe it's yesterday's clam bake that's doing it..... ;) WJ

Sounds like the right choice to me.Kick back and enjoy you and most importantley your families lives and have some of the best times ever

I am glad to hear you are finally taking a break. Working as many hours as you were must burn you out. I am sure your family will greatly appreciate this, and like everyone else said, nothing can replace time spent with the family. Enjoy it :)

what is PUREVl gonna due now he is due to have you begin on a whole new set up for his car now that the current one has been up and running for a while now :jest:

i am glad to hear that you are going to have sometime to spend with the family, ride the new bike, and to get all the things done that you have been wanting to do for quit some time now. enjoy the time don

Don actually owns "Don Flamingo's" a famous gay bar on the strip in Raynham. He just uses the shop to report legit money as Don Flamingo's is a front for his drug running business, that is why PUREVYL needs a fast car to get to and from the border :)

Sorry i had to let the secret out Donnyboy
