With too many cars already in the stable and no time to complete the projects at hand, we came across a deal we couldn’t refuse on this one.  We tried to kid ourselves, saying we’d fix it up, drive it around for a while and then sell for a profit.  Once reality set it we realized that this truck wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.  We owned it for about 15 years, but with an overflowing stable and a lot of work still to do to make it fully roadworthy, we sold it to someone who would complete the job and return the truck to regular use.  Of course we had immediate seller’s remorse, but that’s just how it goes!
