Hot Rods Just watched may car drive off.....

I'm not bitchin, but it was hard to watch my car drive off today. Needed the money for the family. I'm glad I had it to sell. Hope its taken care of and loved it was here. Mabey 2010 will be a better year....Yes I'm healthy and my family is warm and dry....I'm Blessed Man..

Thanks for all the event and build post on here guys..

 

My heart goes out to ya! everything for a reason! The next one will be sweeter hang in there.

 

Been there---Done that......I know how you feel.....I sold mine clear across the state (Pa.)....didn't want to be driveing down the road and seeing my old car going past with somebody else driving it.....On the bright side....you now have the time to start planning a new build.....good luck.....stan

 

I am from Cornelius too. Things around Charlotte are slow. I hope everything works out for you.

What kind of car was it?

 

The right decision isn't always the easy one... feelin' for you.

 

Damn! I've done that more than once with tears in my eyes. Sounds kind of stupid, doesn't it? It's the truth though. You're doing the right thing with putting family first. Things will turn around financially. You can't keep a good man down. Best of luck to you.

 

We're with ya. - Rick

 

Keep your chin up.....Make the next one better.

 

Props for your priorities!!
There will be more machines!

 

Better to sell than go hungry. There will be more. Godspeed.

 

Some of us older guys have been there more than once..

I sold mine in the 70s..cause I needed money to live. Built again..sold in the early eighties..as I built a home when the economy tanked and rates were 20%..

Built again..the only car I kept..took 21 years to finish..kids..home..business..

The advantage of years is you have been through it before..you have solved every problem that came your way for many years..

You'll do it again...

Have faith in yourself..work at it..it comes back...

It's a long life..

 

I feel for ya man,times are tough right now. But you got your priorities straight and as hard as it is be thankful that you were able to sell it when you needed to.

 

I feel your pain, sold my 66 SS 396 i had since i was 15 about 14 years ago. I was balling my eyes out so bad the flatbed driver called the buyer and buyer said i could back out... lol... it just had to be sold for $$$... what can ya do. There will be other cars, other years and Obama will be out of office

 

What can anybody say? You did what you felt was right. Guys like you don't survive---they flourish.
You'll come back with a bigger and better ride, and nobody can steal your memories of the old one.

I cleaned house in '01 when I lost the building I was renting for my business. Sold most all my coolest and most valuable stuff---cars, parts, memorabilia, toys, etc---cause I had have a place to make a living. Paid cash for my new place and never looked back. Now I've got twice as much, and it's better stuff.

With your attitude, you'll be fine.

 

Been there done that! Still sucks!

 

Hopefully you get another car soon. I've had to sell all mine. The image of my A coupe being driven off is burned in my mind permanently. When I sold my last car, as much as I wanted to look at it one last time, I did not. One image like that is enough.

 

what did kind of car did you sell? pic's?

 

Sold the 61 Falcon 2 door. New interror and we never put it back on the road, just didnt want anything to go wrong knew for a while it would need to be sold....Frank got a great car for a great price. Thanks for all the comments already DREAMING of the next one.

Its good to feel good........

H.A.M.B. is the best place to hang out..

 

Docc hit the nail on the head. Good luck.

 

i started out with nothin', and i got most of it left..........

 

All that stuff you have in the wings is only twice as much?
You have more projects than any 3 people could finish!

All cool though!

 

It sucks doesn't it man, twice I have had to do that. Next year will be our year though brother, things have got to go right!
Doc.

 

Hey FNG, there's no politics n the HAMB, read the rules, maybe read them twice. We don't care about your political point of view...

 

That sucks Hope 2010 gets better for ya

 

My parts, cars and project cars have always been my savings account.

 

Sorry to hear you had to let one go.
I can relate, I let this one go to try and make the nice lady happy. Big mistake .

 

I just loaded up my 53 and its on it's way to a HAMBER down in texas. Lil fella in my avatar needed a new place to live. Was a terrrible morning but there are a lot of sweeter projects to come. If you dont like it send it back Jeff! Hahaha

 

I feel for you. I've done it so many times over the years but it was the right thing to do. The bright side is, when things look up a guy gets to start a new project.

I sold a really nice '62 Corvette about 20 years ago for a house down payment. The hard part was, the guy left it with me for another couple weeks while he arranged transportation and I couldn't drive it.

 

nice falcon as a former owner they rate a 3 on the scale of "driving experience"! lots of cool stuff out there still and something will find you.

 

Sold my '60 F100 Monday - a disappointing experience. Tuesday at 3 am I'm in the emergency room and they're testing me to see if I'm having a heart attack. Thankfully that wasn't the case, but the perspective was invaluable. The truck did not, and does not, matter.

Lots of Falcons out there. Hope you can find another soon.
