Nothing in the works guys. Taking the money and buying property on the island and building a house. I'm out of the go fast game for at least 5 years.

I'm currently in O&G sales and am
Tired of it, especially with this market. I have a lot of family that lives there and my uncle owns a water bottling/ice plant. I am relocating down there to take over the business and "revamp" it if you will. It's been around for 25years and could use a fresh look. I lived there in my early twenties so I have a network of friends and family already. My son is only 16 months and I just turned 30 this year. Perfect time to try something crazy like this lol!

They do. It's actually really big out there. I just wanted to have the cash elsewhere.

best of luck to you sir. This makes me wonder if I should consider moving to a wall street area in an effort to better provide for my family. I have REALLY been worrying about this for about the past month it seems. Child, college, wedding and then retirement.

oscs- congrats on the sale and new chapter in life! Time to put a turbine engine into a boat and roast some hot dogs whilst going 150mph that's more suitable down there!

Curious what you got for the car. I never saw an advertisement. If you don't wanna say, thats cool........but I'd really like to know what someone would pay for that.

Congrats on your life changes, I hope all the best in your up-coming endeavor. I understand exactly how you feel as I did the same thing about a decade ago.

If you apply the same ingenuity & determination into that as you have in this vehicle you will do fine.

Yeah, the guy just used me like a cheap *****. Stealing parts from me cause I felt bad for him. Then he started laying down times that where threatening my truck so I called him a liar and told him to bring it over so I could check it out.

I'm pretty sure he felt threatened about the fact that the truck is coming back together and he didn't want to get skull dragged by a 2 ton truck. Pretty sure that is the reason he sold it and it going paradise to live.

He got so damn scarred he packed a small bag- grabbed his kid & moved to a remote island!!!
Yep, Sounds pretty reasonable to me!


He did build a sweet car though!
