well, it finally happened.
Over the last few years the Network administrators for our machines at work have gotten more and more strict. And as of yesterday... this board is now officially blocked. It is listed as "chat".
Grrrrrrrrrrr.....
Now what am I supposed to do during lunch???? I'm going to have to rework my whole lunch hour schedule around this!
So, this being the case, I can only see the board at home, which is a major bummer.
Anyway, just wanted to let you all know.
And as far as the sale of my car is concerned, I may have been misleading. After I re-read the other thread, I think I was too vauge in my reasons for selling the car. Partially because I don't want ot admit why it must go. I hate giving up on things.
I'm not selling it because I am doing something valiant like giving the money to the Peace Corps. Nor am I needing to use the money to buy a house for Erin and I.
I've really just gotten to the point where I can't put anymore into it. When I think how much I've already have in it, ($25K+ purchase price) moneywise, and how much I could ever get back out of it (hopefully $17K), plus the fact that there is still so much more I want to do to it, the numbers simply don't make sense.
And even if I ever did get the car perfect. I'd still want a coupe.
You all know this and have heard me ranting...
I just can't bear to throw this amount of money away anymore.
Erin and I have talked about it extensively and the bottom line is, that the car must go. It jsut makes sense. Someone could buy it and make it perfect and be a hell of allot better off than me.
Anyway, I still want a toy car and after allot of thinking on the subject (and you guys are going to be shocked) I've decided that what I need is a new car.
Not one that has problems that need to be addressed frequently, (meaning: no unexpected cash dumps) and gee, wouldn't a warranty be nice.
Something with air?
Something with a heater that actually works?
Something that can be driven everyday without a care?
Something that wouldn't require me to keep a Dodge ram and car trailer to haul it around?
I'm just wanting to simplify right now. The future isn't "bleak", but it is uncertain at this point.
I'm leaning towards getting a new car.
Can you believe it?!!!
That being said, let's see what is out there on the market...
I'd love to have a new Porsche, but obviously that is out of the question.
So, what else is there?
I'm trying to find something with a soul.
Something with a past, a history, a following.
Something fun, fast, and in my price range.
Erin read the "Parting ways" thead and said, "Lee, they think you're giving up the car because I'm making you".
That is not the case. I'm just trying to make things better for the two of us. I just want what's best.
This whole thing is really hard to do. You become so attached to a car and you never figure how hard it will be to part with it.
