Default Bad news for me, good news for you

I have owned my car from oct of 92 till now. I am considering selling it. It needs a paint job, bad. If I have it painted, it will still have to sit out in the weather. I just bought a house. This will once again take my time and efforts from my car. The car is very well capable of running better than a 10.50. Pump gas, full exhast, drive it to the track, inspected licensed everything. No money was spared in the motor or anywheres for that matter. The little motor has proven itself. Better than 500hp. A C-4 would go close to 10.0s. I will not give it away but I do want to let it go to a warm passionet heart that will paint it and love it. I know this is not the place to post this, but this is home for me. Love all of you guys Sorry to do this.

It is not at all a have too. Just people change, their wants change, stuff like that. I also race boats, and 4 wheelers. The car is EVERYTHING I ever dreamed of now, and for what ever reason I don't use it. I hate to see it just set there. My wife said that I am crazy. I don't know, mabey just a brain fart.

well its been a long time since i've posted. unless you need the money don't give in. fight the impulse to sell. you've been working on this thing for as long as i've been reading and posting on this site. sorry for the peer pressure. just figured i'd try to step in as "the voice of reason" lol. if you decide to sell anyway after the pep talk good luck!
