its a piece of junk. totally unsafe...i just thought it was a cool photo to take. he litterally has to hop and do a chin up to get into it at this time. I took these photos last friday and i heard it broke down yesterday.

big waste of money

I was up there the other day around 4:30. Didn't see any hybrids. I was checking on my friend's prelude, a tree fell on it and crushed it, $10k in damage. John has done work on my old integra and on my mom's pathfinder. I definitely plan on getting any and all future work done there. Top notch.

its a green 95 ex coupe with gsr motor si tranny. its in the back shop on the rack still. I think that prelude is in the back of the building under plastic. I saw that lude when it came in...must have been a decent tree the way it layed on the cars driver side top.

I've known Keith and John for probably 26years plus
