My be jumping ship to another boat

I was made an offer I don't think I can refuse. A move from employer to employee may be imminent.

Still automotive? Any port in a storm these days. Good luck whichever way you go.

Aw gee Terry I was really rooting for you given that you started from scratch. Was very encouraging seeing your posts as your business appeared to grow.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Good luck! I've been watching your venture since you started. I have a lot of experience in the auto industry, including doing what you were doing. I have to admit, you lasted longer than I expected. It was a pretty good business 10 years ago, but in the past few years the margins have shrunk to almost nothing, people have had to work harder to make a lot less, most car enthusiasts find it gets boring after a while, and almost everyone who tries it quits after a year or two.

What's the new gig!

Still in the auto biz, it will be super high end stuff if works out. Look for me in a Enzo shortly.

I'll catch everyone up to speed "if" it goes through.

Is it renting supercars?

friend of a friend in NYC started a company doing that about 5-6 years ago IIRC. I think he's raking in huge $ these days.

of course it helps if your dad can supply you with the first couple of Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, etc.

good luck. nothing like owning/growing your own company, but a steady paycheck sure is nice too.
