I finally had to let go of my 67 4 spd vette, without ever finishing it, due to this friggin' economic crisis this country is in. The wife cried as it went down the street on a trailer. At least I sold it to a good friend in Titusville. Well I paid $5000 grand for it 20 yrs ago, and it paid for my kids college in the end. Where else can you get that kind of return on your money. Vettes are a good investment. I still have a 62 327 short block with 281x heads hiding in the garage. Someday I'll find something to put it in.  

ARGH! That sucks!

Why didn't you keep the Corvette and sell your wife?!  

Because I wouldn't have gotten enough to put my kids through college   Just kidden ladies. It is a sad day.  

It's almost like selling a piece of your soul. I felt bad when I had to sell my first vehicle.
