Re: Did I miss the post re Lifteds new Signature?
For me Dan, this would have been simply an "extra" vehicle, our 4th one. Jessie is driving now so she will get use of the Buick or the Trailblazer this spring so she can get a job. She'll be in college in the fall and won't need a vehicle there. She should be in school in Syracuse, so it is an easy run for us to get her on the weekends or breaks if she wants to come home.skippy wrote:Why must it be our vans that suffer during a financial struggle ?

Re: Did I miss the post re Lifteds new Signature?
Us guys love our toys, but there are more important things to deal with. Family always comes first. There's been several times in my life when I've had to sell toys for the good of the family. I've never regretted any of those sales. Making the hard decisions is what separates the men from the boys. Dean will get another toy when the time is right. There are still a lot of Astros and Safaris.

Re: Did I miss the post re Lifteds new Signature?
Sorry if i offended anyone , i was more or less joking & refering to my situations . I have sold so many vans & motorcycles over the years to pay for bills or xmas that sometimes it bothers me , but i'd do it in a second if i needed to cuz of as skip said , family comes first !!! always has & always will .
