nah my go fast cars days are behind me it was fun but damn expensive. i had a modded E55 back in the day that sheared the woodruff key on the end of the crank off on a new car. the insanity of putting a new crank in that car still gives my bank account nightmares lol

This may seem hectic but I've been doing this for so long I don't remember sharing but this is how every Friday goes. Up at 4-6am scroll social media for a while, 7-8am at desk and type/emails/calls. 2-3pm pull comps and set up the weekends inspections off at 5-6pm. Inspect every Saturday 6am-6pm (light permitting) and Sunday 6am to when I have inspected them all. Type the rest of the week

4 orders per week if I can do it every week is the sweet spot. Fewer orders and I don't really work less hours, the hours I work just become less productive. More orders and I have to work more hours.

4/week at prevailing AMC fees is about $80K/year for fewer than 40 hours/week....not bad IMO although doing so while collecting retirement income is sweet...
