ok well since max has been a long time friend and ive been through this I had to chime in. I totally feel you max. I know exactly how you felt. My priorities changed. Even after I bought my IS300 I still ended up buying a 91 ls later on as a commuter.
dan called me out when I sold enron. he told me “watch you’ll be back in a da. I know you.” that old guy was right:P even after I sold that now look I found enron and bought her back and even though I havent done much to her yet. I have much work to be done and once I get the ball rolling im telling you its gonna be like a land slide.
I remember all the good memories I have of this car. She will live again!
Bottom line is it sucks always working on it but you’ll miss seeing that car, working on it from time to time and esp driving it. If you can keep it Max do it. nothing wrong with getting another car.
just remember most likely who ever buys your car wont treat it like you did
WE WILL MAKE A PACT TO NOT BUY THIS CAR IF YOU SELL IT!! so dont even bother posting it on here cause we wont buy it. so do your self a favor and KEEP IT :nana:
i’ll probably get told to stfu here, but max, imo, these are only cars. being too attached to a material object isn’t healthy. gotta be able to let it go. i know how it is. i’ve pulled countless all-nighters on my rides as well. when it’s time to go, it’s time to go.
funny thing is, i know for a fact that you’d find yourself in another one at some point. and that’s just it, man. it’s all about the journey, not the destination.
that being said, i’d never sell one of my rides because it had been giving me problems. if anything, it was all the more reason to keep it. only once i was content with every aspect of it. then, let it go.
but maybe that’s just me. maybe i’m a little fucked up.
i’ve never really found value in asking others opinions. no one knows better than yourself. asking others may only skew your true opinion
it looks like you’ve made up your mind here. i think it’s a good decision. keep it. take care of it. no one will better than the one who put the effort into it in the first place
p.s. we need a meet soon
ive missed every car that i felt like i had to get rid of for whatever reason.
i look back at the shit that i have lying around from these cars and it pains me to see it.
your car is a thousand times more worthy of someone to care for it than any of mine were, you will miss your car.
moving on is hard. sometimes you have to, sometimes you want to. most often times if youre forced to move on youll hate it. if its your choice there usually isnt as much remorse for the situation.
all im saying is do what you want. if youre feeling obligated for whatever reason, its probably not a good reason. only let go of something with this much blood sweat and tears if you want to. its almost like giving up a child for adoption.
imagine how you would feel if some asshole bought your car, painted it candy pearl flake metallic fleck with god awful body kits and shit.
youd hate it right? do whats best for the both of you, youll feel better about it afterward.
I’m in the same boat as you right now. I haven’t driven the DA in about 3 months. It’s sitting in the garage right now with a blown motor and I look at it everyday i leave the house. It just makes me want to cry because I look at it and remember all the good times i’ve had in that car. I don’t think i’ll ever sell it though. I’ve put SO much money and time into it. I’ve bled so many drops of blood and poured so much sweat on that thing.
Just like everyone else says, you won’t get anytime from selling it (other than a few grand). You’ll be losing so much more. It’s just not worth it!
BTW, Wei and I are pulling the motor out today… DaDavid should be back on the road in a couple of weeks!! Give me a call if you wanna come hang out in the garage some time!
Don’t sell. You won’t get what you want for it and you will miss it greatly once it is gone. I too have thought of selling, but it would be like putting a first born up on the market. Not going to happen. Anytime you need support or help, shoot me an e-mail or a call. I’m here for you and your Teg Max!!!
Dan! I’ve thought about calling you numerous times…LOL. But on a side note my wife and I might come down to oregon MAYBE…for a weekend just to chill…What’s a good time to come visit you???
