loud? its a garage lol. is anything we do in there quiet? also, to be clear, the floor jack thing really isnt an issue. for any type of plastic floor you will need wide base jack stands and use sheets of ply or other material under jacks to spread the load out.

Have fun with your 6-8 inches Milwaukee noobs

the weather says 35 deg and snow, which doesnt compute. it might get messy, but i have my doubts that it will stick.

I like to sneak up on my cars before I work on them so they don't see it coming. 

He said it basically sounds like you have tap dancing shoes on. I could see that being really annoying compared to concrete. Anything to dampen noise really helps in a garage, especially when you have neighbors and like working late at night. I would hate to make it louder than it already is.

More like all those BMW Ken Block fans offering up their life savings and a kidney for a sweet sweet hoonigan stickered BMW for hooning like Gymkhana 32.5

Big week boys, got engaged on Monday, put in an offer on a house on Wednesday, and just today the fiance said she misses me having a sports car.

Best week ever? Perhaps

Sounds like you are about to throw your wallet into Hoover Dam

[KaiserRolls]

I see an NC Miata in your future

[YoungCR]

engaged a few days and used 'fiance' appropriately instead of 'girlfriend'. you're ahead of the game.

Congrats!  I'll tell you as I've told my other buddies before they got married, it's not that bad.  Now for the cynical side of me, get that house in both of your names and get the car in your name!

I'll be waiting for my wedding invite.

So I had an emergency come up Monday and had to take my car into Milwaukee Motorwerks. I looked at reviews and found the few posts on here and everyone seemed pleased with the service with the exception of one person. Anyone have more recent interactions with them? So far they seem to be taking good care of me.

As long as you know cars well, you should not have any problems. Brian and Evan are cool dudes.

[Nick_F]

Yea, I've been dealing with Brian and so far so good he has been extremely helpful. Figured I wanted to try and stay away from those dealership labor prices for some suspension work

I went to HS with Brian. I have watched his business grow from day 1. I use to spend a lot of time in that shop and his prior ones as well until I moved to Madison.

[Nick_F]

Well that is reassuring to hear. So far my only thought has been I should have been going there the whole time and not the dealer.
