I bought the GTO in Feb 2007, with 4,500 miles, I was fired in July 2007 and the car had 19,000 miles on it… the $0.48 a mile on top of my salary was not worth it. But things worked out in the end, I found a temp job at my buddys company in Leetsdale, left there in december, and found the job I am at now, in Glenshaw, 6 miles from home, and the owners and everybody here are incredible, So getting fired was also the best thing that ever happened to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/got-fired-today/197532)._
