[Jeremy Gunter]

WTF!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[michaelmosty]

No kidding, WTF!!! :shock:

[Rob Liebbe]

I bet he got the same speech I got when I got home Sunday night. Sux!

[cobra132]

Don't do it man, you will regreat it and we need you. What can we do?????? FMR

[Rob Liebbe]

Yeah, think of it this way. It doesn't cost much to just let the vehicle sit in storage. It will cost a lot in money and time to recreate it or build another car. That's a hard hurdle to get back over. Put it in mothballs and mull it over for a while if at all possible.

[donovan]

Just park it if you need too, don't sell it...!!!

DD

[Todd Covini]

I bet he got the same speech I got when I got home Sunday night. Sux!

Yup...I get that speech pretty regularly lately.

Listen to the guys. Mothball it...rent it...whatever, but don't sell it. You'll regret it 3-4 years later when your situation changes and you won't be able to get back in.

Send it offsite and all the stuff associated with it so that there are no signs of "the racecar" around the house and all will get better. Sell off all your spares and anything not bolted to the car for extra cash, those things can be re-collected...but the car can't.

With turn-key cars going for a song these days, the false impression is that "I can always get one later", however after the economy picks up again...those cheap turnkey cars will be gone....and so will your car.

Make it a last resort....

[marshall_mosty]

Thanks for the words of support guys. I expected to receive the "WTF" responses this morning and was on the phone with Michael at 7:30... and he normally doesn't even wake up that early.

I'm going to see what happens. My "firm" statement is just that and I'm not expecting for it to sell. This was my own decision (Trina doesn't even know it's for sale at this point).

I may just take a few years off and wait for the boys to be old enough to come to the track with me so I'm not dumping them on my wife for the entire weekend.

Time will tell... but thanks to everyone for the support.

[AllZWay]

I agree with everyone.. just park it. It is cheaper to do that than to try to get back in a few years when you are really having that itch again.

[Al Fernandez]

They're old enough to come to the track already!! :wink: Dont want to lose you Marshall, and I know you dont want to miss the abuse you get when you hang out with us.

[AI#97]

Oh no you aren't! Marshall, I would love to sell mine too and have been on this fence for a long time. I went through hell the last 2 years with my divorce and waffling back and forth about finances, personal life, wife/no wife....and RACING. I left behind a small fortune with savings, time, retirement, a marriage and 8 years of my life and the only thing that has remained strong, fun and supportive is my racing. Call it an addiction, a life style or a family, but it has been there and NEVER fails to bring a smile to my face and this last weekend proved once again it would be the biggest mistake in my life to walk away from it. It is what I am...it is what all of us have found on our path of life. It's in our blood and will never go away.

Mothball it, restructure the rest of your life and find a way. Don't do something you will regret.

[mitchntx]

Here is my secret for marital bliss while neck deep in the racing addiction ...

http://www.tarleton.edu/scripts/calendar/details.asp?E=4956&D=29064

You have to give a little to get a little ...

I sense a lot of guilt in your last post. Guilt about being gone and away from your family. Don't feel guilty about decompressing once in a while. Trina will support a once a year enduro effort.

You want me to call her and discuss it?

What is that? A play?

[MikeP99Z]

Park it, don't sell it.

I've been in the same situation multiple times and have "mothballed" my car 3 times in the past 10 years. It was for sale at least twice (granted for a price I knew it wouldn't sell for).

If someone comes along with a pile of cash, any car is for sale. But the rebuilding, redevelopment, etc. would take way to long to get things back to where they are today.

It doesn't cost anything to have it sit there.

Yep... I have to go to crap like ice skating with Kendra and I have to go on some vacation this summer WITHOUT ANY COMPLAINING. That alone is pretty tough.


BTW... Marshall should get a jail free card for a year at a time for one Celine Dion concert. :lol:

[ShadowBolt]

You boyzzz......... My wife's B-day is 8-1. We had a race on that weekend last year and yes again this year. Play the cards right and it sails right through. I only do the six races we have a year. I don't do any track days or practice. Anyone can let you go for six weekends a year.

Royce Cooper is some guy she has met at one of her many Zen classes she goes to. She thought it would be fun to go watch someone she knows play music.

We'll see.

After paying $5 to see ZZ Top in the Jacksonville National Guard Armory in '74, everything has been kind of ... <yawn>

I'm taking her to the concert the weekend before.

[silversvo]

Marshall,

I went(going) through the same issues about the family, the economy and so on. I decided to sell all my spare parts like Covini said and just hold onto the race car. I actually sold the my street car stuff and everything else that was not bolted to the car. I had my car for sale a while back and had a few people interested in it, but I am happy it didnt sell because it would cost more to build another back up. I have my car sitting in storage right now and ready to go out when everything gets better..
Just write down the cost of everything you have invested in that car and thnk abot how long and hard it will be to get a car built back up to the same specs as yours...

[cobra132]

I have not missed a rush tour since 1974. The only difference is now I pay a lot of $ for the good seats. FMR ( I have been thrown out of a rush concert )

Frank, we have to talk. No one is a bigger Rush fan than I.

Damn, did we screw up Marshall's thread?

JJ

[mitchntx]

76 or 77 (it's kind of a blur) saw The Nuge, Heart, Montrose (with a very young Sammy Hagar) and Robin Trower.

Damn, fellas. This recessitates long since dead brain cells ...

NO NO NO GO BACK! THIS OLD WING IS SHUT DOWN!

:lol: We are the priests...of the temple...of Syrinx. :lol:

[ShadowBolt]

I went to the ZZ Top Barbeque and Barndance at University of Texas stadium in Austin, back in 1974. It was Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Santana, then ZZ Top. Sept. 1,1974. I was the first one to hit the floor in front of the stage and set up our area. In half an hour we were covered up with 80,000 of our closest friends.

Was that the Texas Jam held in the stadium at the place.....???

and did you give me a ride back to Houston????

I have always wanted to thank the person(s) who delivered me back home....

[ShadowBolt]

Not many of the great bands played Austin back in the day. I wanted to see Led Zepplin and Grand Funk but they never came closer than San Antonio or Dallas or Houston. I finally got to see Grand Funk a few years ago when Mark Farner joined them for a tour. They rocked the house and were tight as hell. The place was full of lets say the "Austin flavor". The wife was not happy about all the smoke in the place.

JJ

[David Love AI27]

.... oh, and by the way Marshall, if the wife askes how the car sale is going just tell her we mucked up your post... and if you repost it is gonna happen again... I suggest next time we get off of "Concerts in the 70s" and do a "Ever been to Hippy Hollow and what was your best memory" (or mammary)....

The first Texxas Jam (not a typo BTW) was in 79, I think. I was head over heals in love with my first wife then AND DIDN'T GO! :x

Had Ted Nugent, Heart, Van Halen, Black Sabbath and others I can't recall.

I wonder if the Wikipedia has that info? ...


Edit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texxas_Jam

1978 (July 1): Texxas Music Festival, Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas (General Admission - $13.00)

Local battle of the bands winner Blackstone
Walter Egan
Van Halen
Eddie Money
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Head East
Journey
Heart
Ted Nugent
Aerosmith
Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush

Aerosmith was in 78. Black Sabbath was in 1979 ...

[Todd Covini]

So, you see Marshall!?!?

Don't RUSH out and sell your racecar.
You'll be VAN HALEN if you do.
Don't try to be IRON MAN on the BLACK SABBATH and sell the thing for your IRON MAIDEN.
Pick up your STYX and KISS your family more often...all will be good.

I went to a couple of Texas Jams in the mid 80's...I roughly remember one of them. :shock:

Saw Boston, Aerosmith, Tesla, and a couple others that I don't remember.

BTW...there is no one that can muck up a thread like us. :lol:

Yep, Connecticut. I transplanted to Texas in 1990.

Nothing to see here, move on. :wink:
