Okay this is my first post on this forum. Only found Clubcobra because of reference to it by someone on the other forum.

I've always been interested in fast, gas-guzzling or otherwise speedy cars. In college I owned a '66 stang, then a '68GTO, '75 Vette and finally a Porsche in '80. Finally marriage and it was the Volvo era, ugh!! In highschool I wanted an Austin Healey but didn't have the money. Later I thought about a Cobra but again money and timing were a factor.

After pharmacy school I bought a huge store and life changed. No more cars, dreams or speed, just work.

A year ago I began having angina (chest pains) and decided I needed to see a cardiologist. He confirmed my suspicions, I needed by pass surgery. No way I said, I'm too young. Searched high and low and found a wonderful non-invasive cardiologist in San Diego and he confirmed I have a severe case of coronary artery disease but he could treat me with medication and surgery probably wouldn't be necessary. Said that without drug treatment a major heartattack was several WEEKS away. Suggested I get out from under the stress. Three months later I sold my store (am now semi-retired), bought FFR#1605 and in a week or so will have the body on. I would say that FFR#1605 has kept me away from the grim-reaper (no more stress) along with the prescribed beta blockers. My wife is happy 'cause I'm still here and seem to be in reasonably good health.

Life is good!
