What will be done?

"New" tranny, add tranny cooler.
Install GMK
Install matrix coilovers
Fix Battle kit + paint kit/fenders/hood



Purchase price of AAPL- $26.73
Selling price of AAPL at time of executing sell order- $51.34

[hamill]

question is....how many did you have?

 

[DEVIOUSDEV]

Nice... congrats Can't wait till its back on the road...

My dad had like $10K of Apple 10 years ago... which he still has to this day :biggrin:

 

[NorCalCoug]

It hit $52 today, personally I'd probably sell off a few hundred shares @ 53, and if it goes higher hold on to the rest until around 65+

I had 75 shares.

$3850.50 USD

:biggrin:

Good side- $3850.50 USD worth of stock!!
Bad side- Battery in Cougar is dead
Good side- Car gets picked up tomorrow and towed to tranny shop!!
Bad side- Tranny repair costs PWN my wallet- $1950-2400
Good side- 2 year, unlimited mile warranty (Good thing, because I will blow through a 36k mile warranty in like 3 months :rofl: )!!
Bad side- $3850.50USD - $2400 = 1450USD
Good side- Tranny cooler installed along with it (to accompany stock)!!
Bad side- Tranny provided by Devin would cost nearly as much to use to replace due to 18hr book time for a tranny swap.
Good side- Lawsuit settled against former employer means 3850.50USD - 2400.00USD = 1450USD + 2600USD = 4050USD :biggrin: !!!
Bad side- I spent $600 on a MiniDV Camcorder :flushed:
Good side- Now I can record all the drunken moments at events we all enjoy!!!
Bad side- Joe's apartment is now too far away to party at on the weekends
Good side- Ugly chicks from the bar across the street won't harass us anymore!!!
Bad side- I have nowhere to invite all of the chicks I usually invite to parties
Good side- After all of this I will still have a couple of G's in my pocket ($1g of which goes to paintjob), and teh Cougar will be ON TEH R04D!!!

Goddamn this yin-yang Karma [censored] sucks sometimes.

 

[Bigoudi]

It took me like 5 minutes to read that ish... but now that I have, I'm happy for you

What happened with the Tranny though, I don't get that part?

 

[NorCalCoug]

Well, 4hrs labor to leak test, possibly replace or fix, + 18 hours book time to do the swap would have made it cost the same. Instead, he's going to charge me less to pull the tranny and rebuild with updated components ordered from Ford. :shrug: Sounds better to me.

 

[DEVIOUSDEV]

It certainly does...

 

[hamill]

Good side - original thread stated car should be on the road in a "few weeks"
Bad Side - one week left until few weeks passes

 

[fordrule]

Well, the tranny shop takes a while due to the amount of time and labor involved in this stupid [censored]ing transmission. I hate our shoe-horned drivetrain sometimes.

That and it took a week for e*trade to get me my [censored]ing money.
