Bob, I've lived long enough to know that life is not fair and that sometimes we have to make sacrifices that tear our heart out for the sake of those we love. I hate to hear you are selling your chormie and I hope you can find someone who will love and take care of her like you have. Good luck.

She's a beauty Bob. I know how you must feel. I'm in a similar boat, but somehow the lord has seen fit to let me keep the cars, so far. Of course, mine wouldn't bring all that much anyway. guess I'll consider that a blessing. The best of luck to you brother.

DAMMIT !!!

I hated to read this! I have a fond memory of taking a road trip in Bowling Green and seeing a silver blur in my mirror blow through a left curve......

Although I understand what you have written all but too well it somehow doesn't ease the pain. Simply put THIS SUXZ!

I know we each have to do what we feel is right and feel confident your decision is the right one,

Bob I hope you will continue to remain in the tank once the car is gone. Afterall once a passionate Vette owner alwayz a passionate Vette owner......

You'll be back.......

Bob - I feel terrible. I just lost my business, I restructured and reopened a few weeks ago. I also had lost my day job at the same time. Im back at the day gig on a temp assignment. I sold a few guitars to pay the mortgage. It sucks. It totally sucks. I was able to keep my Vette. I may have sold my kidney first. Listen, chin up. Good luck...

THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT GUYS. FORTUNATELY WE CAN CONTINUE WITH A SEPERATE DIVISION OF OUR BUSINESS UNDER A DIFFERENT CORPORATION. wILL KEEP MY WIFE BUSY BUT I WON`T BE NECCESSARY THERE EXCEPT FOR THE NECESSARY FIX IT STUFF.

i AM A LIFER HERE AND DO ENJOY THE COMRADERIE SO I WILL POP IN AND OUT. SHOULD I SELL THIS CAR , THE PROBABILTY OF ANOTHER ONE ISN`T GREAT. i`LL PROBABLY MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.

MAYBE GET A PILOT`S LICENSE AND FLY TO THE ISLANDS. WHO KNOWS MAYBE EVEN GET OFF THE GRID AND STAY THERE. " COCTAILS AND DREAMS" HOW SIMPLE WOULD THAT BE!
