Life has happened.
My last post here was over 9 months ago. For a small update, the 960 is done, and has been for some time. A few other small projects have happened in the meantime, and some cars have come and gone.
In December of 2021, life gave me a major reset. I didnt want it, but it happened and I am now in a much better place because of it. The lease on my house was ending, and my time in Greensboro was coming to an end. It was time for me to move on from my position at Haileys and start my search for a new job to get me back on track for a full time career. In the interim I moved down to Charleston, SC with my parents. I lost my girlfriend over this whole series of events too, stating the distance would never work. Everything I had to comfort me, everything that was my daily routine was gone.
This business, my business, something that started off as a hobby, kept me motivated. This buisness gave me a reason to get out of bed in the morning when I felt like I had no other use. In truth, I didnt have much of a use other than walking the dog or doing some stuff around the house. For the past 2 months I spent my time trying to make it the best it could be. Finally I could focus on it full time and see how sucessful it could really be with 100% of my dedication behind it. NordCarolina LLC is an official business in South Carolina. Taxes and all.
I got to explore some cool places during this time, learned a lot of new spots to check, and met some interesting people along the way. Even my parents helped, clearing out some space in the garage for me to work and keep my car. Took it day by day and tried my best.
Now, I am back on track. NordCarolina has become my secondary work again. I recently began my position at SRI Performance as a Marketing Specialist. I am now based out of Mooresville, and spend most of my weekends at or around racing. Its just the start, but it feels like part of a bigger picture.
Hopefully soon once my life begins to settle into more of a regular routine, I can pick back up on my posts here. I have a lot of big plans for the 960, some of which may never happen now that I do not have access to a shop or big garage anymore. But never the less, I am always tinkering and finding new things to show the world. (Or well maybe the 3 people who read these blog posts). Keep an eye out, I have a cool youtube video in the works that ties into a product on the site that some may enjoy. Hell, maybe now I will finally get around to finishing the sunroof delete post.
2022, new job, new house, new life, same old shitty Volvos.
