[scorpio_vette]

i live in milwaukee wisconsin, and am opening my own business at the end of the month.

it's going to start as a general repair shop, with the future goal of turning into a jeep/4x4 mod shop.

so is it ok for me to post my business opening in the midwest chapter, so i can help members/jeepers in the area with their projects???
