I know a lot of people that would go to a store like that to look at what they want and sit in the seats to pick out the one they liked the best, then go home and order it online for a cheaper price. You would also have a crowed of kids hanging out there all the time and not spending anything. The store would go out of business and then people would bitch and not take any responsibility that they had a hand in them going under.

Fuck all that, that store is badass. I don't care about cheapskates and ricers I'm tired of walking into a Discount Auto and talking to Bubba with the toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

We need some of those over here and that's real, if the ricers and cheap bastards won't buy out of there I bet there are people with real cash that will, kinda like how broke people go to Circle K for coffee and rich people go to Starbucks, you aim for a demographic not everybody.

They probably buy in bulk and price competitively. They are a specialty shop for recaro seating I assume.

i think they are the main central stop...they may have more stores setup everywhere..and this is HQ..can't afford to look cheap when you have big customers shopping there..
i also think the shop is getting sponsored alot..judging by that s2k..

has anyone seen that "JDM Insider" DVD?
i think its the one where they have the shop that specializes in selling used Skylines..
they have a nice coffee lounge upstairs..and a room where you can buy your car and choose what kind of special modifications/parts you want installed..
this may not sound like much..but if you see the video..your jaw will drop!
customer service looks excellent!

btw...a few words i have to say about autozone..
WORST...CUSTOMER...SERVICE...EVAR!
i call them up to see if they have parts...they say "yeah we got it..come pick it up"..
i drive over there..i ask to pick up my stuff..but noo.."go wait in line"...fucking 35 minutes!..by the time i get to pick my stuff up..i find out that its the WRONG ONE! they send me out to another store...which i wait again for..and get fucked over AGAIN!..they send me to another store...and i stupidly go there to pick up the stuff..and the kit is INCOMPLETE...fucking autozone...FUCK YOU AUTOZONE!
its central autoparts from now on...no more discount auto, autozone, advance autoparts bullshit ever again!
