So learning how to educate new customers and just working with our repeat customers is our main focus. A business has to make money or it's just a tax shelter for some rich guy. Well it's just me trying to support my family and pay my guys as much as I can so they can do the same. After almost 15 years in business a guy better learn some things to improve on.

I have gotten a lot smarter in the past few years. If it does not make money, create business or make my customers happy I sold it.

I'm asking this question to research another possible revenue stream possibility.
I think there's a market for a quality car that's safe, sorted out, and fun to drive that isn't $100K+. The biggest problem is duplicating that price point when all the donor cars will have completely different needs to get them to that point.
