Well, I didn't want to get all dramatic here, but, there's some health problems. Some, pretty big ones. Part of the money issue (I stopped counting hospital stays three years ago), and definitely part of the "I can't keep up with this car" issue. Believe me, I know the feeling that comes from punching the go peddle and the smile it makes. Unfortunately, those kind of smiles aren't always in the cards for all of us.
It's not so much that I want to the the responsible thing, it's that I don't have much of a choice.
Seriously, thanks for all the encouragement, and advice. I will take it all into consideration.
