My Baby
« on: October 01, 2018, 09:56:24 PM »
So as most of you know my Mustang was my first car, and I was washing and taking care of it a few years before I drove. So today it was beautiful out 75 no humidity just a great day to drive to work.So some electrical contractor was looking at my car and he was all over it. So I go out there and he asks me if it’s my car yes I say and he says I have to have this car. So I giggled and said thanks and he said no really how much is it worth and I told him it was appraised for 69,000. So is it for sale and I Said no I was offered 75,000 and said no and without hesitation he he says I’ll give you a hundred thousand. Now of course I know it’s not worth that matter of fact it might not be worth the 70 it was appraised for but he really caught me by surprise I didn’t even say anything. He gave me his card and said if I want to sell it give him a call that he had to go he had a crew of guys waiting for him. So I spent the next 5 hours all twisted from this. My baby on one side and 100 grand on the other. So I called him and left a message with his secretary and she didn’t know if he would be in that she would give him the message. It’s all I can think about.

  Amen to that, there's a tipping point somewhere, might be time for a new baby and 50k in the bank-

I like building them more than driving them. Just think of what you could build with $100k.

It will never visit you in the hospital or cook you breakfast AND getting there is the fun part. Start a new chapter with another baby and take a tour of Europe.

If you are 30 yo is one thing, but if you are 70, that's quite another. Sell & work on that bucket list.

I've got to agree with the others here.  For 100K, you can build the absolute car of your dreams, and have money left over to buy another project to keep you busy once your dream car is finished.

Feel your anxiety.   Don't know what it would take for someone to "buy" one of my toys.  $100K would likely take one(or more).  Years back that might not do it, but as I age priorities change and I contemplate selling things more.
