I don't even really know how to begin this entry, so I'll just start with the basic facts of the matter. My landlord, who is, in all respects, a great guy, hasn't been exactly happy with the Chrysler sitting in front of my place, so I've had a "for sale" sign on the car for about a year now. In that time, I've gotten a grand total of three people expressing interest in the car, until today. Today, I had a guy offer me nearly as much for the car as I paid for it, even though it hasn't ran in over a year, and the transmission was shot.
One of the problems I've had with this project is that I just haven't had the money to do much of anything. I couldn't even really afford to promote it to raise more money, much less buy the things that I needed to actually build anything. So, I had to make a choice: Keep the car, and maybe never get anything done, or sell the car, use the money for promotion and supplies, and then buy another car when I'm far enough along that I can do the work in a relatively short period of time. Given that the car was in rough shape, and that they're fairly cheap on eBay, I figured that it made more sense to sell the car and use the money for promotion and supplies. Cold comfort, I'll admit.
Still, I'm not giving up on this idea. I'd much rather drive a giant luxoboat than a Mini Cooper.
So there you have it. I could have kept my mouth shut about this, and most folks would probably never known that I sold the car. Maybe I'll benefit from my honesty, maybe not.
