    Looks like I'm going to be moving from one boutique shop to even more of a boutique shop. :)

    Apparently Performance Art has closed up and "partnered" with Borelli Motorsports.

    These guys had all the top of the line Hunter machines and a mechanic who knew how to use them. Customer area with a bar and leather stools with some exotic car (of the month) parked in the spacious lobby. Shop area the size of a football field with at most maybe 2 or 3 exotics in there being worked on. Appointment only. One business manager, one secretary/receptionist, one shop manager, and one mechanic. Competitive rates. Spotless, neon lights, wine and cheese socials every few months. First thing that comes to mind when you walk in the door is "This has to be a money laundering operation or some huge tax writeoff business". I think the owner was just a really wealthy car nut.

    I get this letter saying they sold their building in Gilroy and have partnered with Borelli Motorsports in San Jose.

    dahahaha. Now this place is located in Auto Car Club which, apparently is some complex with condos, bar, storage, security, events, ... and a shop. They got the Hunter machines too. I'll have to call to see if I can get my Nittos shipped there.

    Oh, wait, I forgot about the site fitness facility. I'll get buffed while the car gets aligned ... ok, maybe I'll get a beer in the lounge instead.
