Goodbye, Scamp. It was fun while it lasted.

Sold the Scamp. This sucks. After going back and forth about not wanting it anymore, I decided I really wanted to keep it...only to have this goddam family situation yank the rug out from under me and force me to sell it anyway.

The worst part is that I will, in all likelihood, never get another old car. It took me 5 years to save up for my R/T, and that was with a smaller house payment, no baby, etc... While I won't be spending this money anytime soon, in case my family needs it, by the time this family mess is done, the money I got for the Scamp won't be enough to buy anything close to what I had.

I think I'm done with this hobby.
 
Sorry to hear that! [smilie=s: But don't worry, it's not a hobby, it's an addiction and with any addiction, you're never really cured! [smilie=e:
 
That bites, Man.

It sounds like a tough time for you. To have decisions forced upon you is not fun.

But don't let it stop you from hangin' out here - you're a good egg and we need all of those we can get.

Resto.
 
Oh, I'm not done with my Mopar friends, not by a long shot! [smilie=e:

In all honesty, though...I really doubt I'll get anything else. By the time I'd have time to enjoy it, the prices will be out of the range of what I'd be willing to spend, regardless of whether or not I could afford it.
 
I had mopars when Dani was born, sold out when she was about 3 or 4. I just got back into them about 3 years ago. Dani will be 16 Friday. So there's about 10 years where I didn't even think about cars other than transportation.

Sometimes life just gets in the way and you choose what's right.
 
Bummer. [smilie=s: But after all it's just a car.
Hope things are improving with the family. [smilie=e:
 
sorry to hear that family situations are forcing the sale of what amounts to your blood, sweat, tears, dollars and time. making a sacrifice like this for your family does not go unnoticed and when the time is right im willing to bet you will get a big blessing from the Man upstairs. hope all works out for the best for you and yours.
 
Real sorry to hear about that. But you dont need a car to hangout and enjoy the hobby. I am sure some friends will let you drive their cars now and then. I hope the family problems work out ok for you. Ron
 
jeez Mike that sucks. You know it will all work out someday though. Anytime you feel the need to bang on metal you can come visit me !!!
 
Brings a tear to my eye when i have to see a man part with his mopar. It's like a child. Everybody here has stories to tell about getting rid of a beloved mopar, some are still crying silently. Although it hurts to have to sell the car, just be happy knowing that it will go to somebody who will give her what she needs.
 
Sorry to hear about it but hopefully it will be for the best. Its been mostly pickups for me lately, Ive felt like a part of me was dead since I tripped the 68 coronet 500. But I am finally able to get the paper on this road runner Ive had for 6 monthes or so and Im coming back to life. The dart swinger is getting a motor real soon too and I just heard about a 67 coronet 2dr for free so things come back around if you are patient. Best wishes. [smilie=e:
 
You do what you have to do most of the time, what you want to do some of the time, it will roll around again!
I never even thought about cars for almost 30 years, 2 of my sons in college left me with the time, the money I managed to scrape up, my cars aint show queens, but I'm in the hobby again(a tad deeper than I ever thought I'd be) so hang in there, you may be surprised what you will be willing to spend to get what you want in the future! Rich.
 
Ah well, surely for the best! No worries man....keep that cute kid fed. ;) she will buy daddy one soon enough! :)
 
My daugher started to cry when I told her I sold "the green car." She said, "Please keep green car, daddy." [smilie=c:

I so desperately want to tell the guy that the deal is off, that I just can't do it. He's not bringing the money until Saturday. I've gone back and forth, back and forth, but in the end, I know the car has to go.
