Default The goodbye thread

Hello guys, this will be a hard post for me to write. I have got to make so many great friends here within the last couple years. And I have had plenty of great customers that have came to me. I have tried my best to provide great service and you guys have gave me a great experience. I'll cherish the memories. But it came to a time in life where I need to move on. My partner Steve will be taking over the operation here at Evolution Autosports. We been in business for 6 years and he is very capable of doing everything I did if not Better. I hope you guys continue to support us and will establish new relationship with Steve. His My350z.com handle is: Steve@Evolution.

Once again, here are just some of the memories I will cherish with. The great Evolution's cars that's been in the magazines. Jordan, Jason, Minho, Jay... Congrats. And I'm sure plenty of our customers in the future will get the same glory.

http://www.evolutionautosports.com/evomedia.htm

And the best event of them all. Evolution meets.

2004 Evo meet
http://www.evolutionautosports.com/evomeet2.htm
2005 Evo meet
http://www.evolutionautosports.com/evomeet3.htm
2004 IAS SEMA
http://www.evolutionautosports.com/semaias04.htm

Once again, I'll still be in the area, probably find myself in the automotive industry business. I'll probably be still lurk around here and there. Maybe I'll pop up one day to the next meet.

Jeff

We'll miss you Jeff. You've been a part of the scene from 'the beginning' for me (since I got my car). I attended my first Evolution meet a month after I picked 'er up and I've had the mod bug ever since. My first mods went on at your shop and the car is now a certified trophy winner.

I hope things go just as you want in the future.

I also hope that Steve picks up where you left off in our community by being the 'face' of Evolution. Evo is nationally known, I think largely because of your efforts. I hope that trend can continue.

Keep in touch, and maybe we can spend some more time at the shooting range in the future. Thanks for all the good stuff you've done for the community.

Before you go....Is Evolution planning a meet for this summer?

I don't know you, I don't even know why you say your leaving, and I certainly know that although that may have been your last post- it hardly took anything out of you to write it. However, from what I know with past experiences, I assume your leaving for the better. In which case all I honestly say is good luck and NEVER look back; NEVER forget!

I remember meeting you back when you had the shop in Allendale, Va. and you moved on the EVO ,so I'm expecting you to make another good move for the best. Take it easy and best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

Jeff,

Thanks for everything you've done for this community...and for the Northern Virginia region. You brought the import scene much closer to me then having to read about it in magazines. The work you guys do there is truely spectacular, and the meets are always the BEST, and well organized. I wish you the best of luck wherever you go, and i certainly hope to see you at the next meet.

Jeff,

I don't know what to say man. . .I knew this day was coming but I was hoping you would change your mind. I know the shop is in good hands with Steve, Jon and Reggie. I will be a loyal customer for life.

I have learned so much from you these past few years. I remember the first time Mike D introduced us at the Dave and B meet back in 03. You created a monster that day.

Together we put one of the first Greddy TT 350's on the street. We have gone from Stock to the Cover of Turbo Mag, and with this new set up the Sky is the limit.

I don’t want make this a long sappy post. I just want you to know that I appreciate everything you and Evolution has done for me. I have gained a life long friend. Best of luck to you on your new journey.
