Patience is a virtue and he who is holding the are close to the best; this hasn’t been your daddy’s Texas Holden but rather Slicker than a NYC Minute.

Slicker than a NYC Minute.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FYI, this expression is incorrect.

The correct use of the vernacular is "New York second."

This phrase originated in the 1970s, when due to a change in New York regulations a lively market developed in real-estate second mortgages which were purchased and "flipped" with rapidity by brokers aiming to make a quick buck.

Hence the expression: "Quicker than (flipping) a New York second."
