[QUOTE]Originally posted by mtbaughs: [QB] I like this topic. Let see here. This one will date me back to when I was in the 10th grade. I just moved out here from Hawaii. I met a good friend my first year here and he was hooked on mustangs bigtime. It wasn't long before I caught the bug passed on from him. At that point I purchased my old '89 hatch. It wasn't long before the mods started going into the car. All the easy stuff I attempted on my own. Did the off road pipe, headers/ 65mm tb and egr....of corse the good ol' k&n. It's funny because my best buddy also had an '89 hatch. About this time I came across a shop in the south bay called charlie's mustang's. This guy was the guru of everything mustang. For god sake the man slept in his own shop each night. I was a customer of his for about 4 years before I asked him for my first job there. Little did I know at the time the experience I would gain under his watchful eye. People spend 20K + at schools like wyotech and never gained what I learned from this guy named charlie. Not only did he teach me how to wrench but he taught me the ethic's behind doing so. "These people are bringing us their cars...their pride and joy and by god they are going to get the best service we can give them". I know it sounds cheesy but there just isn't this kind of pride... honesty around anymore. I truely value what I learned from a man who wasn't just a wrench but a M.I.T. graduate....a mechanical engineer and most of all a great friend. One day I know I will open my own shop and if I do I know who to thank. I mean this man taught me the skills to provide for my family for the last 9 years. I can't count the many good laugh's...good times....and friendship I had there.... :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]
