Picking a ten year old thread to take shots at members for a first post isn't the best way to make a good first impression. Might also want to work on reading comprehension, if you go back to the original post and look at the OP's signature, they were complimenting him on his car, not Lopers. You would be hard pressed to find anyone on this site that can't tell the difference between the two cars.
Exactly why should I learn about him? How will it enhance my life? You called people out for your lack of reading comprehension on a very old thread, just not a good way to start out. For what it's worth, I made several visits to Lopers in Phoenix when I lived down there, best speed shop I ever set foot in...way better than that tire store they called Super Shops.
By the way, So Cal has been in buisiness since 1946, 21 years before Lopers opened, not the oldest or longest running speed shop.
