Bad *** find man!

Years ago me and my boys got together and renter a closed gas station that had working bays with lifts, we then created a hot rod garage club where for a monthly fee people could use it to work on their ****. Over time the EPA caused too much problems even though we were careful so we closed it down.

Glad to hear there is something like this in JAX!!!

Yeah it was all about the fluids and how they were disposed of; they were understandably worried about oil and **** leaching into the surrounding area, but it was as if they went out of their way to be a PITA

Probably led by a office full of horny women that were neglected by their hot rod owning husbands and boyfriends, lol...

I believe it is $25 per hour for the lifts and either $5 or $10 for the big tools if you need them. They give out a 80 piece tool set to use with the lift rental at no cost and they also get a discount on parts that they pass on to the customers.

How much is storage fees? I'm sure that some of those jobs are not a one day affair.

I'd imagine they would have to sign some kind of waiver before using anything there, but I've never been. That is just an assumption.

When I did it in Miami, a part of everyone's monthly dues as a member went to a million dollar policy and a $50K surety bond, at least I think that's what my buddy got.
