I can hear it now, oh they are backed by Subaru they must be worth millions now and....what? maybe they have to protect an investment that is not there's? who says SOA didn't tell them to do that with SOA's money? think before you say something like you do...be happy for what folks like Crawford do for OUR community. This includes all the bay area shops that attempt each and every day to do there best! That's all there doing and to be honest at this point, I believe they are doing it better than anyone else...this includes little ole us and majority alike.

Not hear to take sides but I enjoy what I see and what they do...its inspiration for all of us. I backed Vishnu when there was nothing but haters and still to this day folks say Shiv sucks, well guess what he has the longest running tuned cars to date I've seen come through this shop. There will be forever fanboi's and haters for all shops.

my $0.02

I wish our guys in the bay area got the contract for that car... Imagine what LIC or GST could do to it!

I'm glad Chris doesn't work there anymore, he was a snake.

Whoa, did NOT expect that.

Crawford is run by businessmen, and with all the money get from SOA, I'm sure they can hire some really good mechanics, but in the end, it's still run by Crawford and his goons.

So no, I'm not happy for them!

well to each's own...or FTW as I noramlly put it

I still think all the video's and letting everyone in on the inner workings is pretty bad as* and as an enthusiasts and businessman I can appreciate both sides of the fence, again haters will be haters and every company has its fanboi's. i.e. whether it be LIC, GST, AHQ, FLI, EQ, SE, anyone really...I think deep down we all like what we are seeing, even if one's got a chip on their shoulder for a specific company for any specific reason(s), I'd be willing to bet ALL of us as shops/enthusiasts/fans have some not so pround moments in life and some unhappy customers/people we have run across (its part of this business and life in general). Some folks you can never please...NO MATTER how good you are or aren't.

^ And that is fact son! ^
