"The only thing changing is my way of thinking" __ Dottie West __ 'A Lesson in Leaving'

I've "disappeared" from the boards/groups & Facebook a while, but it has been for the best...I think. I've been able to do some projects & focus on the job hunt & related volunteer opportunities (customer service, DJ, social media, web content editing, marketing/sales). I will soon re-activate my FB account to connect & interact with people again.

Whatever "fighting/positive" attitude/outlook I have is certainly being tested. Out-of-whack perhaps, but for me, selling my MCs is more devastating than having a 4th OHS, 11/11/2011. The time of year ... cruise nights, shows, gatherings, road trips ... makes this even more unbearable & frustrating.

At times, I just want them all sold NOW ... with a quick end so I'm not thinking about it. Yet, the thought of no longer being a member of some boards & no longer owning cars that have, at the very least, defined part of my life ... is rather sobering (I don't drink). As appealing to me as it is to only have a rear-wheel-drive-only nameplate car, it's tough to keep the tears away at the thought of selling what I've worked so hard to own & keep, especially when I look at all of the models, brochures & other memorabilia I've also collected.

Anyway, I'm sorry I forgot to include the questions for the requirements. So, if you have not received an Email from me (11 people have, with over half qualifying for the $1 price), EMAIL answers to ALL of the below questions (for $1, you can put in the effort) & we'll go from there. The $1 price is NOT a gimmick; if I asked what they are worth TO ME, nobody would be able to afford or want to buy them. EM, again, is:

aol.com

1a ... In which car(s) are you interested?

1b ... On which board did you see the ad?

2 ... Where do you plan to store the car(s)?
[For the $1 price, a garage/storage space (preferably heated if you're in the northern states) needs to be ready.]

3 ... Are you able to finalize the purchase & pick the car(s) up before the end of July 2012?
[For the $1 price, I will NOT ship vehicles. Buyers MUST pick up the car(s) in person. Since none of them have or will be started since early November 2011, I suggest trailering the car(s) home.]

4 ... What GM vehicles have you owned or leased?
[For the $1 price, be honest with what all you've owned.]

5 ... What are your plans for the car(s)?

Thanks! The '81 isn't part of the deal, since that will go back to my parents (from whom I bought it) or my sister/bro-in-law. BUT, the '87 is available. Shoot me an Email if you are seriously interested.

"Something inside has died" __ Carole King __ 'It's Too Late'

In the last week or so, I've fluctuated TOO many times between believing the best course of action is to sell & "move on"/say goodbye to my MCs ...versus... to find a way to keep for what I've worked so hard. It's difficult to fathom saying goodbye, particularly to my MCs...

...72 (mine for ~10 years)
...76 (mine for ~14 years)
...79 (mine for ~20 years, 1st car)
...81 (mine for ~13 years, ~17 years w/parents)
...87 (mine for ~9 years)

...BUT, maybe it's for the best. Reading through the Emails I've received of plans & ability (skills/money) to follow through, it seems my MCs would be better with new owners. That helps...somewhat.

It will be difficult (especially for the '72 & '76) to determine who benefits with the $1 price. The '79 & '87 have less interest, so if you are thinking about either, EMAIL me ASAP. I'll send an Email to all who've Emailed me (BCC'd) sometime this week. Yes, I'd prefer to sell for $1 (no amount of money would replace them).

On a side note, I'm considering an offer to attend the MC Nationals this coming week/weekend in TN. I'm on the proverbial fence right now, going back'n'forth on whether to accept or not.... It'd be good to get out of the house, do a road trip (of sorts), see friends (family), & MAYBE network. On the other hand, I know others a lot worse off than I am...& I don't want to send the wrong message....

"This is not where you belong" __ Restless Heart __ 'Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong or Right)?'

I appreciate the Emails/interest in my cars. Early Tuesday morning (1a my time), I sent a new set of questions to ~35 people. Once I have ALL responses, I'll evaluate & decide who gets which car. This is tougher than I imagined on many levels & for many reasons.

Good luck, Cort. Hang in there, sir.

$1 though? I understand "no amount of money could replace them"... But some account of $ cold surely help you cover your medical bills... yes?

Either way, it saddens me to see a guy like yourself selling the cars he loves out of necessity. Best of luck to you on this decision!

Wtf

Very sorry to hear about this Cort.
You're a great guy with a nice collection of MC's.
I'd take them all

Thanks, Eagle. It's becoming harder and harder to keep positive, though.

Eagle said:

True. But, selling the cars will also give me some extra money in terms of storage savings. Besides, it comes down to the "no amount of money could replace them" ... plus ... since they need more work than what meets the eye in the pictures, I'd rather the buyers have the money to actually fix them up properly, instead of paying me.

Eagle said:

I hate to admit it, but I've been in tears over this a number of times. My nephew was over the other day asking to see pictures of my cars. When he did, he asked when he was going to get to see them this year. I couldn't say a word. I suppose that makes me a sissy or dorkish or whatever, but ... so be it.

LOL! All of them, Mikey?

And, I'm not feeling so "great" these days, but thank you for your comments ... much appreciated. Sorry I haven't seen you this year. Hope we can rectify that at some point.

"It's only going to make me strong" __ LeAnn Rimes __ 'Life Goes On'

I arrived home from the MC Nats & was diagnosed w/pneumonia ~6 hours later. I was hospitalized 4 days & 3 nights, which will most-likely blow what is left of my "unemployment budget".

I didn't think that the 1st time my nephew saw my cars out of the garage would probably be the last time, too. 11/05/2011 (6 days before my 11/11/11 OHS)...:

I believe I've decided who gets dibs on each car; I will notify buyers soon.
