Well, I see that black is your color of choice, LOL. Awesome stable! Big question on Saturday mornings in the summer is which one to drive. The stick or the auto! Such tough decisions.

I'm jelly, sir!!!

Damn Bob that’s a hard question. The cobra is still inoperable at the moment. Doing a built 302, 11:1 compression, twin 66mm turbo, faceplated t56 magnum build on it. So the Shelby was bought to give the wife a whip but also to keep me entertained until the cobra is done LOL. Although I will say the Raptor is incredibly fun, and yes we really use it as intended by Ford

That jump with the Raptor looks familiar. I can’t remember the event name. Is it the one that is in Georgia?

I got out of the Marine Corps in 2016, wife finished school about the same time. So we paid off all her loans first, I started working as a Data Engineer as well as starting a side business (automotive detailing, Lucent Reflections). Also thanks to covid I made some really smart investments which had made me more money then I could have ever imagined.

Life’s been crazy lately and I’m thankful for the path we are on.
Nice man! Congrats! That's great to hear, glad that you're doing good man! I follow on IG so I see all the updates.. Great to see another person get out of the military and succeed

You’re one of the few from SVTP I think I’ve followed on IG forever.
I got very lucky to have good mentors while I was in and a bit of luck has helped us thru the transition.

Care to share the investments? I bought a bunch of Tesla stock ~10k worth at the split and have made a nice return and I thought I was killing it. If not, no worries. But congrats on the new rides!!

As much as I dislike black cars, it would be the ONLY color I’d have on a GT500. I still barf a little when viewing the front end. Black helps hide the horror...... I can’t deny the performance and I’m still a Ford guy....

Very nice. I bit the bullet in March and April when covid hit and sunk about $50k into various stocks, amazon, MGM, tesla, moderna. MGM/Moderna being the biggest chunks. And yeah, Im up about quintiple what I put in. I by no means know what Im doing. But listened to a few good friends and luckily took the gamble on a big portion of our savings. Couldnt pass on the situation.
