One last detail In a way, I'm sad to post this, but I know the future is bright.
I'm selling my car, so I gave it one last very thorough detail. I'm very proud of the car and the results. Plus, I always love whoring out pictures of it.
This picture sort of sums up what I'm feeling. For me, the sun is setting on this project.

I've decided to sell it now, pay off what I owe on my daily driver ('06 Accord), and pay off a few other small debts. If all goes as planned, my wife and I will have no long-term debts (except the house) by the end of 2008. Meanwhile, I'm putting money aside for my next project.
I'm thinking I'd look pretty good in an Atomic Orange Metallic LS3 Corvette...

My jaw dropped when I read that..
I sold my 87 Camaro I think sometime in march or april.. Sold two days after I listed it. I really didn't expect it to go so fast so I didn't have time to prepare myself. I'm 16 now, and the camaro was my first car. Bought it when I was 13 and worked on it almost until I was 16. It sucked, but just remember there's always somethin' better ahead.
Good luck man.

Camaro Ryder KV: It does have the rear window defroster, you just can't tell from the pics. It was a $100 option. Why I remember that, I have no idea.
Adam 346/6LITEREATER: I love the wheels. They're different enough to be unique, but not exactly a "risky" design. They were not inexpensive, but were well worth the money, IMO.
TXWs6: Thanks! Tell a friend to buy it!
98 WS6: This is the fourth car I've owned. The first was an S-10 Blazer, and I still remember the day I sold it. Watching it drive off without me, I remember thinking, 'Did I do the right thing?'. Then I got in its replacement - an '85 Monte Carlo SS - and realized that it was the right decision. The MCSS was a lot more fun to drive. I sold that one to a kid who really appreciated it, and he still owns it. The third car was a hand-me-down Oldsmobile that my dad gave me when I was in college. I had no real attachment to that car, and I was even less attached to it when I used it as a trade-in to buy the Camaro.
Selling the BCoD is hard, especially when I finished detailing it and posted the sale thread. It really started to sink in when I went through the list of mods: This is it for me in this car. It's sad, but I hope I can find a buyer who will appreciate what I've done with it, keep maintaining it, and keep modding it.

Yep that's exactly how I feel. When I saw it pulling outta my driveway, I realized just how badass it was. It may sound funny, but right there everything flashed before me of my memories with the car. and I too did the right thing, because now I have my WS6..
And yeah, it was really hard putting a for sale sign on the window..
Just keep thinking of that possibility of being debt free with a family and a vette
Good luck Mike
