Offically part of the PPOT unemployed..sort of

Got the axe from the CE job Thursday, saw it coming from a mile away so no shock. The company just didn't have enough $ to support my salary. Haven't had a new job in months.

I have been wanting to go full bore with the auto biz anyway and had lunch with an investor Friday. He wrote a 6 figure check! Website should be done this week (think blue nile diamonds for cars). I'm excited and feel like a 500lb weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

I'll be seeing more of you guys!

Six figure check. That sounds like a serious investor. Looking forward to seeing the web-site.

Good luck, this is not exactly the best time to be getting into the car business either.

Lot of guys shriveling on the vine right now, so buy smart. One or two bad purchases in this climate can kill you.
