A man has to have a plan. Someone tole me that once.
Sell the moose stang* before you dump any more hard earned $$$$ into it that you won't get back.
look around for a while, Take yer time, do yer homework on that lotus 7, prices should be lower in the dead of winter.
Find one where the seller will deliver it to your front door with a big red bow on it.
You've had enough hassles for one life, let someone else do the hassling and take it the easy way fer a change.
At least that's howz I C it.
* I may be a bit biased, I doan like moose stangs. Prolly better not to listen to me.
