In my case it was for many reasons, not just one. I had the right buyer at the right time, I had a polite visit from a friend informing me that it would be best to walk away from the car street scene, I lost my overtime, I lost my roomate, so $1200 bucks of play money went away, I had a busa payment, The economy was about to tank and knew it was coming, and a few more reasons I will not add. When it was sold, it went to a good home, it paid the busa off, a few extra bills, picked up a economy car beater, and was free and clear a month before the economy and my extra pay went away. It was a dream I had to put a big engine in a small car. Lived it, loved it, and glad I did it! Miss it but no regrets!
