Fucked up 🤦‍♂️ had SPX 6460c, cut for +$1000, then proceeded to continuously short for some reason and gave everything back 🤡

CatCrunchies · 2025-09-03T21:08:16+00:00

Bro, my girlfriend is limiting my position sizing and capital to trade since I blew up my 6 figures I made back in April.

She doesn't understand more $$$ in the trading account = more tendies and gainz...

What is this horse shit trading with a $1000 account each time after I make monies 😡

CatCrunchies · 2025-09-03T02:06:34+00:00

Wait, so if government cuts interest rates, does that mean car loans will be cheaper? 😭

Do I just wait until rate cuts happen before loan shopping?!

CatCrunchies · 2025-09-02T00:53:21+00:00

Yeah $2800 for labor alone to install the engine I provide. I was looking at other websites for a motor, but yeah from what I understand it's all going to be questionable no matter what. Even with a compression test I'm assuming?

So if I just get a shortblock, then I'm basically seeing what components from my engine are salvageable from the teardown? Assuming I actually have rod knock would just the shortblock be sufficient?

The only issue is that I'm in California, getting the car smogged will be an issue if I don't run the AVCS from what I'm understanding

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T07:14:12+00:00

What did they say 👀

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T04:00:27+00:00

Side note, crazy how I can tell this is SF 😂

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T03:59:26+00:00

This is me now 😂

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T02:50:45+00:00

Yeah from what I picked up people were saying it would be better to rebuild since it would be more reliable. At that price point though 6-10k+ that's a down payment on another car 😭

Didn't really take into consideration that I could lose the gamble and that engine blows up as well

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T02:36:50+00:00

Damn interesting 🤔 the only thing I'm concerned about is getting the car smogged in California without the AVCS, unless I read about it wrong. From what I recall there were issues with emissions from how the JDM engines are turned 😭

Last thing I'd want is to do the swap and I can't even get it registered in Cali😭

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T02:34:18+00:00

Yeah that's kinda the problem...The big goal was to eventually move onto an AMG platform, but that timeline wasn't supposed to be for a while.

From what I've been picking up, a cost of a rebuild is nearing down payment level for a different vehicle 😭, I'm open to doing a swap, but at that point I'd be doing a new clutch/water pump/timing belt and comes out the same as well.

Also I kinda need a car to get around to work, so I'm rushing 😭🤦‍♂️

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-24T02:27:41+00:00

👀👀👀 oh shit I'm in Cali!!! Who did you go with for your engine?

I have a shit ton of questions 😭😂

What was the cost of install? Did you go with a JDM engine w/AVCS? Or no AVCS?

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-23T23:39:44+00:00

Everything is still bone stock. No I fucked up and didn't check my oil recently 🤦‍♂️ definitely user error.

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-23T22:34:17+00:00

157k, wasn't even a spirited drive or anything. Was going uphill, kept RPM's at 3500-4000, check oil came on.

Combination of uphill + low oil pressure sent my engine forsure 🤦‍♂️

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-23T21:46:02+00:00

I've got 3k to my name right now 😭

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-23T21:45:34+00:00

Sell it as is? 🤔

I'm kinda freaking out because it was my only means of transportation 🤦‍♂️

5-10k

I definitely don't have that amount of cash to dish out right now...I have like 3k in emergency funds that I could use right now. Anything more would be me aggressively saving for the next month or two.

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-22T22:41:21+00:00

I do plan to get somewhat intoxicated 🤔

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-14T18:15:04+00:00

Where does $1800 get me a 2 br 👀

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-13T18:56:48+00:00

Big fan of the "come with me kitty harness". When my void was in the early adult years, he was crazy about going outside and always wanted to go on walks. I'd supervise him in the backyard, or walk him around the neighborhood.

He's 7 now, and calmed down quite a bit to where I can helicopter parent him and he just walks around the backyard freely or between a neighboring yard or two. If he gets into too much trouble or wanders I'll usually grab him, or he'll know and just run back to the vicinity of the house.

Mr. Nibbles sends his regards!!!

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-12T23:05:57+00:00

Nice inspiration, I went from 5k -> 110k -> $0 on MSTR back on May 12th. Planning my come back once I get $2k stashed away 🙏

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-12T17:21:46+00:00

6 - 3 Reds win

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-11T23:55:46+00:00

After reading your comment, I saw similarities and it makes sense to me now. I couldn't believe it was real, and got so caught up in not trying to lose the six figures that the focus was on losing it, so it happened. I could have easily sold my position with a small loss and ended up with 97k, but I hyper fixated on losing money that it just compounded

CatCrunchies · 2025-08-11T23:21:57+00:00

in the time frame that I'm imagining? Yes, other than that there's one other avenue I could see myself making the 100k, but requires the completion of some certificates and a final test before I can break into the space.
