We have the Rant Thread, so why not the opposite? Declare your great success here.

Mine to start:

I've had a 453whp T-Roof Nissan 300ZX for the entire weekend. Spent 4 hours blasting around the country with a lady friend. I'm going out and getting hammered for a friends bday dinner and I'm also going to Nuite Blanche tonight!

Oh, and I finally got a set of adapters for my new wheels!

Yesterday I got up, had a delicious cup of coffee, met a beautiful girl at the Museum of Modern Art and had an awesome time seeing priceless and inspiring pieces of art from some of the most famous artists ever.

Got lunch and ate on a blanket in Central Park, went home, had some sexy time, then had pizza and beer while watching a movie about a typeface that she was enthralled by.

Thread hijack:

I need to still see Objectified. I've heard many good things and missed it at the theater.

Sold 8 pieces of my artwork this summer and have a solo show starting at the end of Oct. Had some interst in a piece at the gallery today too !

**SLK350** · 10-01-2011 08:48 PM

I'm making more than minimum, have benefits, have a schweet 16v, playing in a band that, with a little bit of luck and a lot of hardwork will hopefully be hitting the studio in the spring, and kicked the meds.
**** yeah, success baby. I'm doin' alright compared to a few months ago.

**VDubby18** · 10-01-2011 08:49 PM

I sat at home today with a book and many cups of coffee.
Might not sound like much, but I have not had a rest day the past two weeks with work and studying for work related things.

I enjoyed the hell out of today.

**Der Schaltwerks** · 10-01-2011 09:02 PM

I'm successful in a variety of ways.

I'd tell you all about it, but I don't want to be labeled as a narcissistic, attention whore.

However, I will tell you that I can gleek on command without a citrus palate stimulus.

This and this alone is a...great success !!!

**Chilledman** · 10-02-2011 12:20 AM

I landed a $15k Filter order from a customer when I was only expecting a $3k order .

Fck yeah !!!

**atomicalex** · 10-02-2011 01:49 AM

I passed my motorcycle exam in Germany on the first try, with the BIG bike!

Actually, this is more of a success for my instructor than for me. He broke me like a horse.

**zaYG** · 10-02-2011 01:50 AM

I just got road dome.

**die65cast** · 10-02-2011 01:54 AM

Finally found a perfectly clean 20th that i'm picking up next week

**Mr Niceguy** · 10-02-2011 07:10 AM

I had my 30th birthday 2 weeks ago. My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday with this:

she then one-upped herself, and on saturday I got to watch the 3rd practice from here (you can see the viewing area at the back wall):

**PrimaVW** · 10-02-2011 07:13 AM

Been searching for BBS RM flat caps from euroimage for a while since I couldn't justify $220 for them at the time... found them on ebay for $120 shipped

**turbinepowered** · 10-02-2011 02:01 PM

92 on an electromag test where the class average was 61.

A test I had no real time to study for too, extra awesome.

[edit] Ich kann nicht gut Englisch sprechen...anscheinend...

Putting aside our differences, congrats. Being able to sell your art and get shows is a goal I'd someday like to achieve.

**PepsiFiend69** · 10-02-2011 02:48 PM

Brought home my biggest single week paycheck in my lifetime friday!

Finally settling in at the new job

nice to finally see my hard work paying off

**psbahra** · 10-02-2011 03:39 PM

Went to Nuit Blanche last night, drank half a bottle of Jack to keep the cold away. Met some awesome people and discovered the perfect hangout (on the roof of a crepe shop!).

Now today I have a ton of reading to do, but I don't give a fawk cuz I'm finally liking the program I'm in!

yup, true story.

**dubraycer36** · 10-02-2011 09:34 PM

Despite a rocky start early in life (about 15 y.o.) and addiction to cocaine, (stopped in 1989 at my 3rd NA meeting, clean since then.) and an affair, I've managed to maintain my marriage, and help my wife to raise 4 great kids. I'd love to chang a few things, but overall, I have to say I've got it pretty good.

I wrote, directed, and helped edit a 6 minute and 52 second movie this weekend for the 72 Fest in Frederick, MD. It's a comedy/slasher flick about fart jokes.

**winstonsmith84** · 10-03-2011 12:08 PM

I managed to lay tile in my bathroom/hall with out ****ing it up, burning my house down or having to go to the hospital.

**Dr. Woo** · 10-03-2011 12:12 PM

I'll just repost my Facebook status from about a week ago:

Let me paint you a picture: Head in to my Credit Union to see about mortgage refinancing. Turns out I can save almost $400 a month (or more) on my payment if I refinance with my choice of closing fees. HUGE savings with minimal overhead. I also refinance my car loan, saving pennies but taking my business away from Bank of America and getting a $100 gift card. Walk outside, it's just rained - there's a cool breeze so I drive home with the windows open, and one of my favorite songs comes on the radio. What a glorious afternoon.

**Rob Cote** · 10-03-2011 12:12 PM

Successfully "completed" my first "show car". Did a wire tuck while the engine was out for a color change. Also color-matched the engine to the interior. On initial start-up I turned the key to hear "click" and my stomach dropped out. My mind started racing with all the wires and connectors I unpinned and re-pinned. I gave the starter a few solid smacks while someone was turning the key for me and it roared back to life. The car hasn't been running for well over a month now. Once started, she purred like a kitten.

I have to put on one more clamp on a charge pipe and it's going back to its owner. Via a beat run

I was the first of my family to graduate a 4 year college degree program with a bachelor's degree. I got a job before I graduated that I enjoy. The salary is, according to my research, a bit above the average starting salary for fresh graduates in this field.

F-yeah I'm tooting my own horn. How's it sound?

Sounds pretty ****ing good to me!

Michigan Wolverines are 5-0 and ranked 12th in the country.

**Roadkilled78** · 10-03-2011 01:10 PM

Race was canceled so I spent Sunday consuming only pizza and beer. Literally. Hung some sheet rock, cleaned the gutters, logged a bunch of miles in the Miatas. And built a cat scratching post but Idunno if that's 'success' or not. They like it

I feel like these don't count. Unless you play for those teams. If that's the case,
