Welcome!

A simple lesson.

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away..

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why."

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?" The six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply..
Speak kindly.
Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
Take naps.
Stretch before rising.
Run, romp, and play daily.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.
On hot days, drink lots of water or a beer and lie under a shady tree.
When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body. Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you're not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.
Being always grateful for each new day and for the blessing you have.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!
That's what dogs teach us...

Web site is messed up and we can not put cars on it for sale. Call 281 447-0577 if you want something in paticular)

95% of all our cars are sold wholesale to other car dealers.  We post a small amount of our cars on this web site.  If you want a BMW or other High Line Import for a wholesale price let us know.  One thing our 16+ years in the car business has taught us is to shoot straight.  Honesty and integrity is much more important to us then selling a vehicle.  Many of our cars are purchased from insurance companies as theft recoveries, flood damaged, or collision damaged.  If we repair it, and you see it on this site for sale then you can be sure the car is fixed correctly.  We do not cut corners.   Almost every car we own has a story.  We tell you the story when we know it...  That is the difference when you buy directly from the source.  US.

Simplicity.  Build what works, not what could work or what has been rumored to work.  Simple doesn't break.  Simple works ... reliably.

Single minded focus and commitment to the details.  Each detail is considered and specified before a single wrench turns.  Interviews with the driver/owner, review of sanctioning body's rules, and discussion of goals for the race car comprise our build/design plan.  After we have that critical information we begin executing the design plan starting with cage and safety equipment then move on to the suspension, drivetrain, and running gear (including body modification and paint work).  Plan the work and work the plan.

Test to win.  Each car starts it racing life by being tested at our track, an environment we know well, not only to properly break-in critical components but to also dial in the suspension and drivetrain.  Once we have completed the testing and dialing in, the car heads off to win races.  The car owner/driver is an integral part of this process.

Results are our resume.  Our cars finish races.  Our cars win races.  Talk and opinions are cheap.  Rather than spend our resources trying to sound like we know what we are doing, we spend our time doing what we know; building safe, reliable, winning, race cars.  By building a car around the owner/driver's expectations we provide exactly what is expected -- no surprises.
