Re: [DML] Restorable or Parts Car?

["John Spangler" <johnspangler@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I got some bad news this morning.  After losing more than a
week's worth of good sleep (wondering what to do first, how to get it
home, if someone else wants to buy it, if it's restorable), taking
about 100 pictures of the car, looking up part prices online for
hours, buying a set of struts and a full set of manuals (I'll need
those eventually anyway) and running a carFAX report, I made an offer
yesterday and the guy said he'd do it if his son didn't want it, money
was no object in this case (it's a father/son thing).  Well guess
what, he did want it, and what's worse is I believe he's going to use
it as a parts car.  I am beyond crushed at this point.  I feel like I
don't ever want one now, even though I know it's not true.  I've never
been so close to getting something like this only to have it ripped
from me by an invisible force.  Actually, it feels like a relationship
breaking up for what appears to be no reason.  I fell in love with
#4543 and she's gone now.  So close to my birthday, too.
To make matters worse, I still have to go to work today.  I should get
time off for this to grieve.
Thanks for all the folks who emailed me privately to encourage me with
their project car stories!
Bid farewell to VIN 4543...
