Fuck it, going to buy a lottery ticket. If I win, I am buy one of those and a Shelby Cobra kit car.

Which kit would you buy? I'm going to have about $70k worth of sick time and vacation payout when I retire and I want to do the same thing.

That sucks man. I hope that you're wrong, but if not, how does one as smart as you are "fail." Thank God I got good looks and charm, 'cause I wouldn't have made it through admissions.

Well, I'm talking about the CFA. It's pretty much considered the roughest professional cert to earn, and certainly for Finance. It's been around for 40 years, is global, and they haven't awarded their 100,000th Charter yet... that speaks volumes. Some of the smartest people in the world look at the curriculum and requirements and say, "man, fuck that shit."

Yes, it was last Saturday. I'm certain I didn't pass and will be taking it again in 2013. Official results are published in August, but I didn't write a good exam at all. The entire afternoon portion was foreign currency, derivatives, and foreign currency derivatives. Honestly, those are the portions I don't study that much b/c of the time investment it takes to learn them well. For Lvl 1 and Lvl 2, I just aced the other 9 sections and sat down and thought my way through these sections to hit 50% on these sections (they're only supposed to be 10-15% of the exam). This exam, they were about 35-40% of the test. It was a gamble I took, but it turned out miserably. 250 hours and 5 months of weekends down the toilet. Oh well, it will be nice to not have to study for another year or so.

As long as it's a Daytona, you have my blessing.

jesus christ. trublu you sir may have talked a tad bit too much in this thread.

Word.

Sure but the 2012 GTR has more power, bigger brakes and better suspension tuning then the 08 version. No reason it couldnt knock just as much time off its lap.

BUT that wasnt my point. In a shorter tighter track the Vett falls short.

It is a spectacular car and handles better then anything I ever owned so I am not downplaying it at all.

Also while I really like the GTR I am not a GTR "fanboy" that claims its better then everything.

As a DD I would pick a GTR over a ZR1 though.

If you or Stevo don't like it, tough shit.

If you want to continue to be an ass, be my guest.

If you can't see the irony of me comparing driving a tank to a 700 hp car, then you are pretty damn dense.

Not bad for a plastic car with 100yr. old Vietnamese suspension built by some fat blokes in Kentucky runninng with an old SBC.

Well that isn't going to please the "ZOMG GTR 4EVAAAAAAAR" fanboys...

What Stevo, you didn't see the trail of bread crumbs?

[03trubluGT]

Cmon guys, you just dont get Matt's sense of humor!!!

Ain't that a bitch!

I figured you driving your vehicle gave the best shot (albeit still very small) of putting up a better lap time. Sorry you only have an F-150 to drive.

Feel sorry for the guy in the mirror.

K Thanx, Bye!
