    Well boys, Im selling

    Good lord, Oli is going to be a stockbroker? Interesting how life pans out. I can see him now, middle aged balding family guy in his super expensive foreign import sports car. Good luck Oli, the market will be good until 2012, but watch out for the SouthEast Asia stocks, China is going to crash in a year or two.

     

    Actually, I was a broker at Morgan Stanley for a while, and hated it. Im currently an analyst at the NYSE, investigating securities fraud and trading violations. My hair shouldn't fall out till around 65 if you think that stuff is hereditary. Import sports car, well, yeah that will probably be true.

     

    For those wondering, I was not able to sell the car, because it was still being worked on by a shop. In fact, I haven't seen it for 8 months. The shop is doing a blow thru conversion, a slightly smaller pulley, and a very detailed tune for streetability. I plan to hold on to the car for a bit to see how I enjoy it after all this.

     

    Fwiw, I did sell my daily driver Audi A4, and replaced it with a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E430 4matic (awd). Zenons, navigation, heated adjustable seats, power everything. Its pretty phenomenal.

     

    Nice talking to everyone again.

     

    oh, and if I forgot to mention, I got a firm offer for 17,500 for the cobra.

    Ollie is in 5.0 this Month!!!

    Thanks guys, i really appreciate it.

     

    The article wasn't exactly what i was looking for, but you can't argue with getting a stock looking black cobra vert in a magazine.

     

    Anyway, yeah its been a while since that pulley incident, and I still get the cold chill from it. i felt soo stupid and it was such a rookie mistake. However, it really was the machine shop's fault that the keyway broke.

     

    Anyway, thanks for the shout-out, I appreciate it. I wish this board had more action, but that seems to be a thing of the past.

     

    Anyways, I'll keep and eye on the posts on here.

     

    Agent99 out!

    John,

    Yes i graduated in may. I should be starting my MBA program this coming fall at Stern (NYU). I first accepted a job at Morgan Stanley, but hated it very quickly. In late september, I accepted an analyst position at the New York Stock Exchange, and here I am. Im still living in jersey for now, and will continue to do so for a while (looking at condos for next year). I met a wonderful girl and will most likely be proposing late next year. So things are going great for me, as I hope they are with you all.

     

    I still have the cobra, although its not in my current possesion because a shop is finishing up a 3.0 pulley swap and 8 rib conversion. 640rwhp is the expected goal. who knows if it will happen. As that goes, the car is running wonderfully.

     

    Aside from that nothing too exciting is happening. the true power freak I am, i chipped my DD Audi A4, but thats about it.

     

    Its been taking forever, but Im assuming that the Cobra will be in 5.0 Mustang and Superford magazine in the next few months but who really knows. The pics were taken this past april.

     

    Well anyway, back to work, but I hope things are well for everyone, and Happy Holidays.
