Well, I don't know if I'd go THAT far...I'm not into that new age crap either. I just think that if you truly -I mean truly- love the car (or mug or tiki bar or firearm or girlfriend) that offering it a good home where it will continue to be loved with renewed excitement, then it is good for all three of you: You part with something of value, knowing it will contiue to be loved, the item (car) gets the renewed attention I previously mentioned, and the buyer who will now (hopefully) have a great new hobby, a great new love and something to share with those he loves. And that is what the whole 'big picture' is all about.
It's that aloha spirit.

I don't know if I could stand knowing the Stingray was close by. I think it's good for me knowing that I just can't drive by and see it. That would be hard and I do feel for you there.

It seems to me that with any hobby or collection that we love, it brings us more happiness when we share our passion for it with others. And you have made a great sacrifice but obviously benefited as well.

Now that we've dried our misty eyes and blown our noses, I'd really like to see more pics of that T-Bird!
