I asked my dad about investments and he introduced me to them at the age of 16. What I did in 2008 when all of the financial institutions collapsed was my own work. Prices went down, I bought up. I worked my *** off between the ages of 16-18. You can even ask Mike. I was a cheap *** lol

It is never too late. Buy some investment and finance books and look to financial representatives, etc. to help you out. My dad introduced me when I was 16 and got me hooked. I've made a lot of money in some areas and have lost a bit of money in some areas. It is almost like building a car. You invest in it in hopes of getting gains and sometimes you make the wrong choices on parts to choose, etc.

^^^ Mike has been my best friend since 10th grade (so about 5 years now) and will likely be the best man at my wedding. Can't wait until his slow 91mm 402 LS2 build is done

My grandpa and my dad have been investing since 16. I asked my grandpa how much he has made from it and he told me enough to buy some of those bugatti's you always talk about. He complains about stuff costing alot. My dad will never tell me.

That would be sweet. I met a really cool older guy last night while sitting waiting for my girlfriend's Hip Hop/Dance Club show to start. We starting shooting the **** and he gave me his card and everything. Turns out he is a farmer and looks up and finds old classic cars for people and sets them up with them on the side. He has 2 67-69 Camaros, 2 67-69 Firebirds, a 70 Chevelle, 65 Impala, 1937 Roadster, and an old Model A he is just starting to restore. Showed me pictures of all of them and everything. I want his damn "toy shed" - what he calls his SWEET garage equipped with 2 huge lifts and nicely finished floors

Ohh, and for his fun cruiser, he owns a bone stock 50th anniversary 2003 C5 Corvette with 12k miles on it

It is crazy the cool people you run into if you will just sit there and start talking to them for a bit and bring out their passions.

Most of the 69Z28 302s on the road are FAKES. A real one even a 69Z which that year was the most made, are worth some dough. Good looking cars especially with the RS option which gives you the hidden headlights. LS1 in a Z--EWWWW





Nice copo!!
