 My son and I spent this evening weeping uncontrollably.  My JH-19354 is still purring away in the garage, but see . . .  there was this '74 JH (16788), White with black interior on ebay.  Body looked like it was in decent shape, but I just couldn't afford another one.  Wife said "choose wisely."  I've heard that tone before...

So what, right?  No big deal.  It's just another JH.  But this one wasn't in California, or New Jersey, or somplace a couple thousand miles away.  We live in Dallas, and this car was a scant 10mi away in a local 'burb (Carrollton).  Oh the pain.  The self-control.  The sheer energy spent NOT going over to take a look at it. 

Heck, I even e-mailed Greg to ask for an intervention or have my sponsor call me to talk me down.

Well we watched the bidding creep up slowly.  It sold this evening for $2,275 on 4 bids.  Yeah, I know.  It probably has tons of problems.  Keep telling me that.  Maybe the pain will go away soon....

Hope whoever got it knows what they're doing.
