Even mid priced cars have some serious performance. Compare to a average car from yesteryear.....
 
Evening not so gentle people!

Well I just took a deposit on Grimace. Looks like he will be going out to New York. You may seem him at Carlisle with a new owner...

Kinda of a sad evening for me and the wife. Our plans are slowly becoming a reality and this was one of the biggest steps we have taken. Selling all the little stuff is nothing, but selling Grimace is really kind of heart breaking....

RIP. We are merely caretakers of our cars. We buy them from someone else, enjoy them , and pass them on.

Words of wisdom there. Yes you are absolutely right.

Now we just hope we are doing the right thing with our plans. Only time will tell and if not, well I have a 73 Duster waiting for me at my brothers :lol:. Although Dana says that will be at the very bottom of our list if we return..

You have to follow your dreams.

Take it from me. My wife and I sold everything we owned and reduced our life to a few boxes, 2 cars and 2 cats and moved to Hawaii back in 1991. We had 3 months income in reserve and landed in our dream place determined to make it.

11 weeks into our reserves, we both had jobs and were living just 2 blocks from Waikiki beach on the 17th floor of a high rise building with a swiming pool on the 40th floor where we would relax after work and watch the sunset.

We lived there for over a year until after 3 progressively increasing offers from the Pharmaceutical company I had previously worked for in Philly became too much to refuse. We reluctantly came back.

I knew it was the right decision to come back and I don’t regret it...and I am equally glad I chased my dream regardless.

Point is, follow your dreams. You must try...and you will never regret the attempt.

hahaha I like it..

Grimace actually came from Rainy. I've got to give her the credit.. One its purple, two the car made me grimace a lot because of the first engine build (crappy engine) and it not running right. Figured it was pretty fitting and served two purposes.
