Default I feel bad for IA Auto

Found out last night, but you guys probably knew earlier. I hate to see small business's close. It sucks. I have had great service and products from Stephem over the years.
Sign of the times I guess.

I also felt he was a really good guy and a great contributor to this board. I hope he's able to sort it out and open a new shop when the time is right.

Agreed. I've talked to Stephen & others at IA during past projects. Always helpful. I know of others who appreciated their products & service. Always sad to see a fellow enthusiast forced away from their business. Hope they're back on their financial feet soon.

Just heard about the shop closure yesterday. He was on Rennlist WAAAY back when it was an e-mail listserv only (no forums then..) --- and he was about 22 yrs old.

That is awful news. I was just at their site for the first time earlier today looking to see if they could do a PPI on a local 993tt.

I really enjoyed reading up on their history. Hopefully they can turn things around.

This is sad news, indeed. I wish all of us nothing but the best. Hopefully we will survive The Great Depression II.

Thanks for the kind word guys. I am still around just as a owner again after many many years. It is nice to know I made a difference in this industry
