good news/bad news
« on: August 29, 2008, 02:49:17 PM »

so as you all know i lost my job two months ago.  bad news.

i'm out in california right now which is good news and what's even better good news is that i just landed a killer job out here.  i'll be working back in the performance aftermarket automotive industry again and i'll be making A LOT more money than i was before.  good news.

so good news is that i'm moving back to california which is also bad news because it means i'm leaving the springs/719. :'(

allison and i have been waiting for this opportunity for years and it's finally come and we're very excited.  good news.  we already found a house in san juan capistrano and we'll be moving out here in the next 2-3 weeks.  good news.  colorado is cool and all but california is our home and we can't wait to come back.

bad news for me is that i gotta get rid of the gti which is good news for someone else.  i'm looking to get $3500 which will include a shit load of parts that i've accumulated over the past year plus three sets of wheels (bbs rm's, track wheels, and winter wheels).  I'll take $250 for a 719'er.  i'll start a for sale thread later.  kelly, if you're reading this tell colter to get a hold of me asap. 

the other thing i gotta do is rent out my condo.  i'm going to have to do $1100 if i have to work with a property manager but if i can work direct with someone i know/trust i can drop it down to $1000.  it's a two bed two bath place that's only 3 years old and i have a HUGE 1 car garage (you could probably get two cars into it).  anyways if anyone is looking for a place or knows of someone who is let me know asap. 

we're for sure going to have a going away party at some point.  more details to come.

Congrats on the new job man. Really shitty that you are leaving the 719 but in this situation i think if you didnt you would be selling yourself short. I bet Cali is going to be amazing with that new job. You are defiantly cool as shit and hanging out with you has been a blast. Thanks again for all of the support and answers to my questions. I will do some asking around for you on your car. I know a guy looking for something to auto-x and the gti would be perfect.  Figure something out for a going away party so we can chill before you take off. Congrats bro and thanks again!

Damn, and I just barely met you too.

Sounds like a good move for you though, just reading through your thoughts on the board over time, it's apparent that CA is where your heart is.

Since I read through this topic the first time, I've had B.I.G.'s "Going back to Cali" running through my head.

"I'm going going, back back, to Cali Cali"

Any insight on where your new career venture might be taking you? 

That's an industry I've always felt compelled to check out with my love of cars and all. I think I'd really enjoy it.  So, in the meatime, I'll be living vicariously through you, hope that's OK? :P 8)

Major congrats on the job Man!!

Sorry to see you leave, but I'd admit I'd love to get involved in the performance market as well. 

Sounds like a great opportunity when your heart is in Cali and Cars.

congrats! So-Cal and especially San Diego is my home away from home and I guarantee you won't get bored. I've heard the scene out there is awesome.

It's a huge bummer to see you go though. From the little I've talked to you you're a great guy and this community needs more dedicated and hardworking individuals like yourself.

Oh snap man!! Well I gotta say that I hate the fact your leaving, but I know you were talking about getting back on the Best coast for a while. I would be very interested in renting your place, but it sucks because I am in my apartment until March!  :banghead: IF however you rent it out for a few months or even a year and become interested in selling it, me and the wife may be interested (depending on her job)

Also about the GTI... I am interested in the wheels if you decide to part it. I PM'd you, but it was about the engine and whatnot. I am pretty sure you were wrapped up in a lot going on as well. IF you decide to part it PLEASE let me know man. Id like to buy the whole car, but the fact that we are planning to have a wedding in Belgium next September it might get me kicked in the balls.

california is amazing grew up there and hope to make it back one day. congrats on the job and for the short time ive known you your a cool guy. hope you enjoy your new job and home .

thanks for the kind words guys. 

scurv - i really hope i don't have to part the car.  if i do it'll be from cali and not colorado.  i won't have time to do it before i leave.  btw barry is first in line for the rm's.  i really hope to sell the car as is but i gotta get rid of it either way.

anyone know anyone that's looking for a super nice condo in the broadmoor area?

Barry, buy the RM's then sell me some RMs. Hahaha

I understand man, but if you have to part it from Cali, I wouldnt mind paying some shipping cost. Just let me know how it ends up. I wouldnt mind coming out to Cali, but I am wanting to be back in the dirty dirty again. (Souf)

Anyhow best of luck with the move, and if you ever need some people to move in (around march) let me know. I'll stay there until you decide to sell it or move back in.
