A Tough Decision But Necessary

A Tough Decision But Necessary

Postby Paladin06Greg » Sat Nov 05, 2005 11:35 pm

Well after many months and more money spent then I am willing to admit, while trying to get my car at least driveable for more then 30 days at a time, the wife and I have decided that enough is enough and we will let the Solara go.

It's been just over a year of one problem after another and I've only been able to put less then 3500 miles on the car. These countless problems, both minor and major, including the large amount of money spent has just reached a point where it's time to let go. I wish I knew why I had so many problems but I don't and I certainly don't have anymore time or money to waste.

So it looks like I'll have just one car in the garage instead of two.

I'll drop in once in awhile to say hello and keep in touch.

Good luck with your cars and enjoy..

Greg, I'm sorry you have to sell the Solara. You were one of the front runners of this community. I hope whoever buys it can deal with the problems and keep the car going. I hope you'll keep coming by...

Didn't you buy a GTO awhile back? If you did, I'd be working on that. :wink:

Take care,
Larry

I'd have to say we'll miss you, but I won't say good bye. Regardless of what's in your garage, I know you'll always have the Solara in your heart. Heck, I still long for cars i gave up years ago.

BTW: I'm still working on Phoenix / Pistons tix. :wink:
