Thumbs up Club Autosport - coolest shop ever

This is Club Autosport in San Jose
It's a combo of a bunch of Hotrod / Race shops and super high end automotive storage.
The owner also his his personal collection of knives, guns and vintage tools on display

So - which is cooler, Club Autosport or Canepa Design?

Oh - you have a 4-wheel dyno!

I worked for Goodies for years (years ago) and am really glad to see them in the complex.
That that your Blue coupe I saw leaving during the corvette event tonight?

Noo I was probably gone by the time it really got started. I have a white 4 door rs.

There were some sweet *** corvettes there though. Yes we do have a dyno, but from what I've heard it reads real low.... But I don't know what anything on that dyno is supposed to make. Lolll and not about to put the rs on there.

my buddies and i went to Canepa Design and got a personal tour last sunday, i was really impressed, we even got to go into the shop and check out what was going on back there. ive done events at club auto sport but over all i wasnt super impressed with it, no doubt its a cool place but something about Canepa Design was really cool.
in all honesty it could be that we had the whole facility to ourselves, but ive done something kind of similar at club auto sport but the guy showing us around was a total jerk and would flip out if we even got like 3 feet of the cars...
