Actually, I love my job. I'm a retired Chief Engineer with 25 years service in the U.S. Coast Guard.

My last job I was the Assistant Service Mgr. at another boat dealer. I worked 6 days a week and was constantly stressed, mostly because I was doing my job and most of the service managers job.

I didn't realize how much I missed being on my tools. The stress is gone, I'm making pretty good money plus my retirement pay I'm making really good money.

Nice place, long as your happy it seems that is all that matters. My job is high stress most of the time but when its not, its a great gig. Some days are easier than others, being by yourself all the time can get old. I get tired of talking to myself, seems I never really have much to say???

That's a hell of a nice shop! I haven't seen a lift like the one you have the atv on and hear you about the AC. We've had heat indexes pushing 115 degrees here lately. I stay out of my shop unless it early morning or late evening. I've been wanting one of those port a cool watercoolers but they are over 2 grand!

That's what I pictured Felix Unger's shop would look like. Nice and tidy. Just kidding, it looks great. I wish I had that kind of room to work.

Sorry you don't get paid more ... maybe you can convince Arctic Cat to make worse machines. :-)

Actually ... I've got an '09 700 Mud Pro and love it. With the snow we get around here, not to mention the streams I have to sometimes cross when fishing for trout, the huge ground clearance and snorkle work really well. Here's one of my favorite You Tube shots of the Mud Pro ...

The lifts are motorcycle lifts with side extenders. The even have the drop away door for removing motor cycle wheels. there made by K&M.

Your absolutly right. If the secret got out on how good these these machine are the rest of the atv companies would have problems and there made in America!

We have a Mud Pro and a Thundercat 1000cc on the lot and the are a wild ride. we have a small test track and i can drift the whole track with these bikes. (sideways0
