hardest post I have made here..

[FlyinGN]

You would not believe how tough this post is but my GN has been sold to a very happy new owner.. I have had a lot of sleepless nights in the last few weeks.. I have been here almost since the beginning and have met many people that I would consider good friends. Many have helped me thru problems I have had with the car (luckily it has been very few) and I have ‘seen’ many people come and go here and others ‘grow’ into TR experts while on the board.. I never really liked to get into the controversial posts that happen from time to time here but have read most of them.. I mostly posted in the TR related threads that I could add something to help someone. I have been to many cars shows and many TR only events. Met a lot of amazing people.. Its something that you never forget.. and I never will. I loved the GN and always will but I needed a change… This car was a BIG part of my and my families life and its soo odd that its not here anymore.. I showed it for many years and was very thankful to receive many trophies for the hard work I did on the car… I sorta got tired of the car show thing and it seemed in the last few years that was the only reason the GN ever saw the light of the day was to show it.. I lost the reason I originally bought it.. To enjoy it.. I was just too damn nervous that someone was gonna hit it, that it became less and less enjoyable to take out.. This was our dream car for many years and wanted a GN since they were new in 87.. It took a lot of thinking and pondering on selling, but I decided to let it go.. Maybe someday I will get another…. I had the car for over 10 years and I drove it 6500 miles. The first few years were most of the miles in fact. That goes to show you have little I drove it.. I will always love TR’s and hope everyone understands where I am coming from.. I know quite a few people were very concerned why I was selling it.. Everything is good folks..  Just want a change.. I’ll still be here… reading and enjoying this forum.. I just wanted to explain were I was at on this change in my life.. Thanks to all...

Outside of the show/family part, I would say the same thing were I to sell. I completely understand your remorse.

Keep in touch Frank! That was one SWEET car! Best of luck to the Family as well!

Best of luck Frank, Hopefully your car is still local and you can get visitation rights?

Hey Frank, sorry to hear you sold the car. We all understand and have been there or will be going there soon. Take care and hope to see you around on the board as usual!

Sometimes change is good... but I understand how hard that decision must have been. Probably still hasn't sunk in that the car isn't in the garage anymore.
I have had similar thoughts over the years, I've had my GN for 12 years. But I love to drive it, I don't race it... it's been a few years since I've been to a real car show. In fact i think other than the local cruise nights here I've been to 1 show 'n shine in the last 2-3 years. Last year I only put 1200km on it and about the same the year before, but I'm in family mode now so the car sits a little more these days. Once the kids are older I'll get out more.

Frank, my GN and TTA sleep only a few blocks from your house so anytime you want to drive a man's car again just let me know I'll give you the spare set of keys! One thing is for sure we have had a lot of fun showing our cars together over the years and I'm glad I met you and your family thru the GN! You were the first person to PM me and come look at my car when I only had it home a day or two. You helped me along the way with my GN over the years and I thank you for that! When I bought my GN I had no game plan other then I wanted a GN badly. Once I got it home I had no clue what to do or where to start and you helped me with all that! Anytime you want to take one of my sh!t boxes to a show or cruise it's all yours!

If someone would have gave me 25K for my GN that thing would be gone in a second that's for sure! You did awesome with the sale in this soft market with your GN. You got what you wanted and the new owner got one of the nicest GN's anywhere around up and down the east coast!

Buy less chrome for your new ride so you can cut your work load. Good luck with what ever you buy
