Default I know this sounds silly but I had the biggest smile

on my face when the auction was over. I almost pulled it a few times.

I am glad to have all this selling non-sense behind me. I can now drive it the way I want to without wondering if I should have sold it. With 2 kids, a wife and a business, it would have taken me another 6 years to do another car just from lack of time. With those of you that have kids you know how time consuming basketball, soccer and baseball can be.

So, the first show I will be going to is the Year One event. I guess I need to contact the DMV and get a legal tag on the car. I have been running around with an expired Arkansas tag 07/2001 and have not been caught yet....

Thanks for all of the support and information that I have picked up from everone here over the years. It has meant a lot to me.

Payton

Payton, congrats on the....no sell. LOL!!!

I am with you on the time constraints with family. I am scrambling to get my car down for RTTH4 in September partly because I want to be an integral part of that fantastic event but mostly because I just want to finally put this almost 8 year odyssey to bed. My wife wants it finished, my kids want it finished. I'm just tired of it occupying my thoughts and my time.

I'm glad the car is going to be staying with you. I can't wait to see it and meet you at RTTH4. You've been a big help to me in the past.

Man if you didn't really want to sell it you must of been nervous! Your car got higher than almost any pro touring car I have seen on ebay. Makes me feel better about my investment. Have fun driving your car.

Congrats on the non-sale. Do you mind saying what ballpark the reserve was? Man almost 85K and it didnt meet reserve. Sweet ride btw.

Default Come to find out I had 2 of my friends messing

with me because they knew I did not want it to sell. They bid it up on the last day to where it finished. They knew my reserve was $85,000 and I was not moving on that price, so they were calling me saying "look its going to sell." I was sweating bullets because I thought I was going to loose my car. Payback is coming to them. The last real bid I had before they started messing with me was $74,000.

I had another party interested in the car back in June before it was completed and we had agreed on $90,000. When it was completed in November snow was on the ground where he lived and he passed on the car.

I have been in a great mood today and can't wait to leave work in a few minutes and go drive.
