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.

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. \:D/
