i'm personally planning on finishing up the cars that i'm responsible for and then if the time comes that we won't take it any farther, i'll do somthing else. hopefully not cars. i'm tired of this crap, especially the internet.


no offense but if you know how the guy is why the fuck would you go back to work for him? That makes you just as bad as him.

I became different than my normal character all because I thought I was helping out a "friend", just like many people here. Lesson learned.

When I left that place I had $0.00 to my name and had alot of owed bills, so it was not about the money... what I made there in a week I spend in a day. I lost many TRUE friends over this shop...

fair enough. i remember for a long while it was well known not to post anything factual about DC's shadyness because you'd just get banned, so it was pretty counter productive. but if this has changed then high five.

I'm with Mike fellas. Regardless of what anyone may feel or think. The small crew that is currently under Ian is legit. Despite what you all may feel about Ian, MIke and I will fullfill our obligations to Tampa at the risk of our reputation and finances. I think that I can speak for Mike as well by saying that we truely love what we do and simply want an avenue or environment in which to do it. It is seriosly heartbreaking for Mike and I to know that this will most likely be it for us being that this PR nightmare has happened. So to all of you out there scared to loose your cars or belongings; we have your back. We will do everything within our power to make things right.

I disagree with Kirk and xetrev on this one.

Gotta put food on the table. So mike working at DC after today is understandable.
Also not a bad idea to go back and help out where you can. Try to do good from the inside while cutting back on projects and finding a new job.

there was a time when kirk got a lil too ban happy when anything got "out of hand" when DC was involved. But like he said he admits what he did was not in the best judgement.

Looking at it in that perspective I agree with you. Mike is not stupid and I know he will be looking at his options when the time comes.
