I'm absolutely dead honest about this. No B.S.
I never planned to sell the 4 spd. It was a "keeper".

The silver car came along and it was exactly what I've been looking for many years. Had it been available when I bought the white one, I would have chosen the silver one.

I've been hit with aprox. $60k (my responsibility after insurance) medical costs from my wife's surgeries. Right now I can not justfy in any way two toys.
The silver one was " you're an idiot to pass this one up because you can sell the white one" and have money left over.

And, no problem for asking. Perfectly legitimate question.

And thanks to all for your positive feedback. Really!
Now I have to change my sig. AGAIN. Sheesh...

I hope your wife is ok and feeling better.

I hope your wife is ok and feeling better.

Thank you.
She required 3 operations.
#3 of 3 was last Thur. She's home and recovering wonderfully.
By the time she is fully recovered, she should be the way she felt 20 years ago.
She'll probably dump me for a younger man...:sideways tongue:

 

[azblackhemi]

And leave Brad Pitt! Not likely. LOL All kidding aside glad to hear she is doing well.

 

[polara71]

Well Stan I was very surprised to see you buy one and get rid of the other.....

4 speed plans for this one or six speed?


Thats crazy money, hope all is VERY well.................

New mission:
BONE stock!!!!

Putting it in as-delivered showroom condition. That will keep me busy.....

Unfortunately the paint job bumps it from Survivor status.

Best wishes to your better half. Stories like that make me thankful for Medicare here in Canada.
