This day was going to come sooner or later, and I have been holding this back and didn't really know how to say goodbye. This will probably be a shock to a lot of you guys. I have been on this forum for 4 years now and have made tons of friends here. Evolution have been really good to me and we have built it from ground up. To make a shop that is famous and respected. Shows here by all of our customer's car and their coverage in the top magazines.

And for everybody that have placed a order with us. From any back orders like Volk wheels. We are receiving a huge shipment in the next week. And I'll be here to help my partner to ship them out when they come in. So don't worry, I'll take care of all of you guys who have orders with us. I won't leave until those are taking care of.

The past 4 years I have been on this Great Site. I used it to help me modify my own s2000. I have met great friends that later on became great help to our sucess. Mike - m777erlin. With out this site, we would of never met. And also many of our customers from Mid Atlantic who have continuesly to support me over the years. Alex S, Randy, Alex H, Dave, Skip, Andy, Larry, Jackie, names go on and on. I love you guys, we have hung out together so much. I will continue to try to come out to the meets. You can see some of their cars here.

We have held great events like the Evolution Meets. Which we hold once every year.
http://www.evolutionautosports.com/evomeet2.htm

We throw this type of meet to show our appreciation to our customers, and its great to see everybody showing off their pride in their cars. And how much they love us and support us. Its always been one of the great events I look forward to every year.

I have travled around the country, from Fall colors. Where I met Turbo_PWR and the NYC metro guys. A whole bunch crazy guys that are just nice and funny as hell.

To D1 Drift Event where I met the Spugen guys/So. Cal guys. Duc, Greg, Sherwin, and the rest of the crew have been GREAT. When I first met Sherwin (Docofmind), it was only on a business basis. Then we became great friends and he have had his struggle with illness. I can only tell him that how great of a guy he is and a great friend. And when I'm moving on, I hope he take care of himself and I'll be sure to come out there and visit him.

When I went to Miami this year, the South Florida guys took me out to drink and dinner. My wife and I both thank you guys for it.

Everywhere I went, I have met great guys who share the same passion. And have embraced me with open arm and welcome me. I really wish I can travel more around the country and meet more members from s2ki. The people that we talk to almost everyday. Its like a 2nd friend outside the real friends.

We definitely would not have any type of sucess of where we are today if it wasn't for the support you guys have given us. We started out by pushing high end name products like Volk wheels, Tein Coilovers and Vortech Superchargers. We have Rays in Japan know about us, because we focused so much on the s2000 market. We have them custom make special offset for our car. To the specs that we like. To get wheels that's not even on their master catalogs.

We were one of the first to install the Vortech SC on m777erlin's car and we have installed over 50 plus SC locally plus guys from NY and NC have came down to let us install their mods. We tried to do the best work we possibly can and have every customer come out happy cusomter. I would like to thank my Tech Jon and Reggie for helping us to build the reputation that we have today.

And my partner Steve, who will be taking over the complete operation when I'm gone. He have been great for the past 6 years with me. And I can gurantee you he will try his best to work with everybody here on s2ki. To continue serving you guys with the best customer service we have been known for.

And last for myself, I'll be moving on with life. I felt like I was at a point of my life where I needed a change. I'll be a father coming up very soon. My wife is due in October and I just found out yesterday I'll be having a boy I'll be moving on with my life. I may still stay in the automotive business. But I'll be serving the net and browse thru. s2ki here and there. I still enjoy reading thru. the off Topic sections. And for those of you guys that have been chatting with me over the years. My AIM and my E-mail Address will be the same. Feel free to talk to me anytime.

Pretty much from now on, I'll try to answer as much questions as possible. I'm going to be here at the shop for the next few days til the end of this month. Then my partner Steve will be taking over All operations here at Evolution Autosports.
Please feel free to PM him about Anything. His S2ki handle is: Steve@Evolution and you can always just call us at the shop and talk to him. If anyone ever want to reach me for any type of questions, you can still PM me. I'll try to answer what I can but only when I log on. I won't be logging on as frquently. But I definitely will miss you guys and this great site.

I'm hoping to save this thread for my own personal memories, if you have had experiences with dealing with me or our shop. And you would like to share, feel free. I'll be saving this thead and it will be something for me to look back on and smile.

Sorry about the sloppy letter, I'm typing this with out spell check and its been emotional.

Jeff - Evolution

 

Jeff,

Although I've never had the opportunity to meet or have a conversation with you, it seems like you've been an asset to the S2Ki community and I appreciate that. You seem like a great guy and congratulations on the new baby boy!! I wish you well with all your future endeavors!!

 

Good luck in your new chosen path Jeff. Don't be too much of a stranger bro.
Tom

wow jeff, what a surprise. it's been great working with you these last years. Congrats on the wife and the kid, we've lost touch recently. I do wish you the best, and make sure to name the kid Ray. With the kid on the way, i just hope your S2k doesn't suffer the same fate as my Z3...sitting in the garage collecting dust.

 

 

Takes courage man to realize it's time to move on..

If you handle your next challenge like you did your business at Evolution I'm confident you will be a success....

You've been a 100 professional on the boards and on the phone...

Take care....

p.s. I'm holding you to your statement of staying to help ship out the wheels end of month!!!!

 

Congratulations Jeff on the Baby Boy and making a tough life changing choice. I had heard through the grapevine that you were getting out. I was very sad to hear that news, but understand life has many opportunites in it for those that follow the path the fits them best. Good luck and stay safe. And maybe we will play some poker in the near future

Take care my friend.

Mark
