Hey guys,

Due to the recent flooding in the Houston area, we are closing shop for today and tomorrow.

Things are pretty bad around the area, and there is a lot of lost/flooded out cars unfortunately (jerrys m5 for example) and its yet to determine if the dyno will be lost as well.

We will try and keep up with the email requests as they come in, but please allow us a little time to deal with the current situation and make the best out of a crappy situation. We will try and reroute the calls to the other EC locations as well.

Thanks guys..

Sorry to hear that. It's not that bad over in the NW/Jersey Village area. Good luck! I hope everything can be fixed. Flooding sucks.

You guys stay safe.

i was in the area of kirby and 59 it was crazy. i almost had to park my truck in someones yard. The streets all around were at least a foot of water or more.

sad day to loose a badass M5.

Let us know if you need any help Jerry.

Terrible and sad day for residents and significant property loss here in Houston.

2.5-3 inches of rain per hour.

I lost count of abandoned, stalled and submerged cars today.

This crap is crazy. I wish I had a collection of un-needed parts to donate to those in need. All I have are the stock headers and cats. Nobody wants those.

Sorry to hear about the trouble...my prayers are with you guys.

The BAD M5 may yet live..

Benz-O-Rama

Yikes! Thinking about you guys.....

Calls some scrap yards you can get some cash for the cats. $25-$100+ each and being its off a benz your probably looking towards the higher end. Call around some places low ball badly.


Hope everything gets back on track for the EC crew soon. Sad to see.

Yikes sorry to hear about the flooding. Reminds me of the flooding locally here back in Sept

thanks everyone. It was a mad scramble to move cars, with not a lot of area to move them in. The damage is looking better, as the M took the biggest hit along with a S55 that took some rear damage from a floating dumpster. Jerry managed to get most of the porsches and other customer cars to the middle of the shop. Tells ya the kinda guy he is, left his for last only to find the water level too high to move it..

The dyno looks to be ok, gotta love having it on wheels!

We appreciate all the support and will be up and running shortly.

props to Jerry!!!!

A+ performance!!

Is this original dyno or a new one that you were looking at SEMA?

venchka

I saw two interesting video clips last night:
A white CLK being pushed through hip deep water. A total loss for sure.
A newish ML in the parking lot of the mall that got hit by a tornado. The ML dodged all the flying debris. Very lucky.
The rainfall varied from under 2" where I am in Jersey Village to 6"+ where the worst flooding was. Up north the water in Spring Creek was over a bridge this morning that a person at work uses.
We needed rain. We didn't need this kind of rain.

Oh no! Best regards to you guys, sad to see that M5 go.

Good to hear everything is okay, I guess it's time for Jerry to get into the new E63TT OR CLS63TT.
