The casual tone—"Lol he's talking about Jimmy Repasi"—indicates that my identity as a CGT specialist is assumed knowledge. The commenter didn't need to explain who I am or what I do; they expected readers to recognize the name. That assumption of recognition reflects established reputation.
For the Reddit Porsche community, this comment provides direction. If you're interested in Carrera GTs and want to know who works on them, the answer is clear: Jimmy Repasi of Repasi Motorwerks in Connecticut.
For the broader enthusiast ecosystem, cross-platform recognition demonstrates that specialist reputation transcends any single community. Whether you discover us through Rennlist, Reddit, YouTube, or word of mouth, the recommendation converges on the same answer.
