Subject: The official good deal and hook up thread of C4guru.com by Josh on 2008/1/16 23:41:16 Hopefully we can get this stickied. I tried this on another site with great results. I would of tried it on CF, but there's just too many people and too much BS to pull it off. On here though, it should work. All right, I feel a certain amount of camaraderie for all of us who tread the waters here at www.c4guru.com. In that spirit, I suggest 'the hook up list.' It's a list of members and the things they can help other members out with. The list doesn't have to be car related. I love cars, and devote a ton of time and money to the hobby, but I still find myself in need of other things; beer, food, appliances, cell phones, hookers, etc... It goes like this: My name is Josh. I live in Raleigh, NC. I have a 2 car garage, a decent compliment of tools, and an extra bedroom. If anyone finds themselves in need of repair or a place to crash, let me know. I don't have any problem coming and getting you off the freeway at 2 AM Friday night, wrenching till dawn in my garage, all so you can go race on Saturday. I work for Pepboys as a service manager. I can't do much with the shop, but I can get pretty good deals on some things. I have a pretty good hook up on KYB shocks, and I can do some pretty cool stuff with the alignment machine for $60 or so. I also can get some pretty good deals on tires, but you'll have to come to the store for that. That's my contribution. The next poster will do theirs, and we're off and running.
