Not necessary. In fact, it is I who should be offering condolences.

After all, you have to feel sad for those who can't purchase real
cars. :)

Hey, watch it! I would have bought a "real car", but I couldn't find a '69
Mercury Marauder. ;-)

They were nice. Back in the day, I was fortunate to have two - '70
440 GTX and a '70 Corvette. I sold the GTX a couple of years ago
because I wasn't using it and a collector had been after me for years
to sell it - the offer kept going up and eventually, I just gave in.

My Corvette is all original and only has 16K on it. It's the one car
that I couldn't part with - I sold all my other restorations (a '70
Duster, '54 Crown Vic, '50 International L-110 pickup, and four
International tractors) almost as soon as I finished them. :)

The 'Vette - that's my baby. Bought it when I came back after my
second tour and kept it ever since.

Later,

Tom
