Pete, I'm not one to talk you out of it, as I'm sure a lot of thought has gone into it already. We all have to do what we have to do, and today's events don't make it any easier. I've been spending a lot of time this year walking around the yard deciding what to do myself. However, I have a hard time letting any truck/car go, and when I do, it's like I lost a family member. I get over it, but it takes time. It certainly ain't easy. I wish ya luck.

That is one gorgeous, rare truck! Take lots of pictures before it's gone, even a video, and you'll have all the joy and none of the maintenance!

Just an idea, a friend who retired to a mobile existence stashed his bike at a friend's house down south so he could drop down there in the winters and ride it. He had a Jeep stashed up near where he went hunting in the Fall. You don't need to carry it all along with you!
