I havent posted my car for sale yet, I gotta get pics off my other computer... Ideally what I would love is to trade mine for one that runs and is in good shape plus some cash, that way I have a Supra to build when the time is right... I sat down and finally added up all I have invested in this build: close to $25,000... Jeez... But the plan is to sell the car with motor and tranny intact so I dont have to pull/ship them... Then part out the rest... I dont know yet... Still working it out in my head... I've finally accepted that the car has to go, I just havent accepted how the car will go, lol...

Why not strip it down to bone stock, and make it run like that. Sell off the goodies, and try again later. Drive your car as a stock Supra. You know and love the car, get some enjoyment out of it. I doubt you are gonna ever see half of that $25,000 back, you know that story.

Well, there is an emotional attachment there that I want to sever too... Remember, this was Tamara's and mine... I'd love to keep my drive train... What I might do is try to trade a shell with someone, or something, maybe buy one that's got a jacked motor in it, I dunno... But I need to get rid of the car, as part of the symbolism, ya know?

Im in Panama City Beach now... I dont think I'll ever be leaving the Pan handle, well, not any time soon... I'm starting school in the fall, and will be getting my nursing degree... I know, a dude nurse, but hey, it's good money, scratch that, it's GREAT money, and nursing is recession proof, people will always do stupid shit to get hurt or get sick, or whatever, so there will always be a need... Construction has died, I mean, D>>E>>A>>D....DEAD! There is so much cut throating going on, I can't survive... Plus, physically, mentally and emotionally, I cant do it anymore... 14 years was enough... So, *grabs balls* turn your head and cough sir... *COUGH* oh yeah, nice! ;) *plus, my g/f is an ICU critical care nurse, so Im a shoe in for the program AND I literally have a walking encyclopedia of knowledge living with me, so no excuse to ace the class*

I completely understand where you're coming from Jake. Best of luck with whatever decision you make. I know it's not an easy one.

At least you have an entire forum who cares for you and your feelings. Not a bad definition of "community" and "family" if you ask me....

Jake, let me know if you need something to help finish the car. I don't have many extra parts, but what I do have is yours for free. I'll cover the shipping too.

I hear you on the construction sucking these days. I'm glad I'm out of it. I don't see how Jay has stayed in it for so long.....

What were you thinking about? How much cash involved with the trade? PM me...

You know im not sure, depends on what you and I would want to swap between cars. Might be interesting to look at both of them and see what if anything we could work out. Id really like to have a 5speed again since all my other cars are automatic.
