Default Xtreme Update

Unfortunately, due to some unfathomable childish bull____, there will be no chance for Xtreme discounts. I was fired this morning because someone called the store complaining that I was out bad mouthing the shop to people. Bad mouthing the shop I took a paycut to work for. The shop I have to drive twice as far to than I did to Circuit City. It's just salt in a wound for this year. I just got home last night for an emergency trip to Louisiana for my grandmother's funeral. Let's just say I have no intention to ever buy anything there again.

I am very sorry for your loss. Do you have any plans for a new job? I might have an idea for you. Give me a call tomorrow on my cell phone at (901)601-6274. It is a long shot but it might work out for you.

Their "Wait and see how much we sell first" discount sounded funny to me anyhow. No big loss.

Frist off sorry about your loss!

Extreme! hmmm That has always ben a funny shop. I mean I hate to talk bad about them but i have been dealing wiht them since 2001 when i got my wrx. they were always a little too clicky to me. I mean if your not one of their buddys then your not gona be a customer or an employee for long. That is why i started going to luckys. I followed a guy who used to work at extreme and got fired as well. HArold left there and then went to luckys. SO now i will have another shop that can help me out form time to time. Guess I will try out B&b autosports on winchester?

I agree about them being clicky. I could talk to Alex, but they closed up 3-4 months before I even started at Xtreme.

Give me a call because there are some openings here that I might be able to get you. I have already talked to a few people about it. Let me know and I will explain more to you in person.

I've been treated real well at Automotive Design on Raliegh Lagrange. I like the guys up there and they do everything. Paint and body work too. I will probably be going to them soon.

Are you planning on leaving the stock springs on for awhile once you get them installed? You might want to change to TRD springs so once you have them installed you can leave them on year round without any dragging problems.

Ahh I see says the blind man. The stockers do ride real nice. It's too bad you can't have the lower ride height without choppy ride. My Hotchkis springs are suppossed to ride like the stockers. I'll report on the ride after I put them on.
