Sorry to hear you might be selling the Vette. Your wife told me the only reason she married you was because you had the Vette, now I see why she is thinking about it, I hope she picks you buddy. (by the way, I am just kidding).

If moving back to TN makes you happy, I say go for it. I would like to move home too but I can't find any Male Gigolo jobs there so I am stuck here.

If you want a ride down for the mod party, let me know, I still owe you a ride.

I'm not completely sure if I'm going to sell it, but pretty sure I will....if that makes sense

It's a lot to think about and the car is just the tip of the iceberg.

Pro's

I'd be switching careers, which I think I will really enjoy. I like the IT field, but I'm not in love with it. If I switched jobs I'd take a pay cut, but would be making 10-15K more than I do now after a yr or two. I'd be inspecting commercial fire sprinkler systems. My old next door neighbor does this and took me to work with him a few days while I was there on vacation. I really enjoyed what he does. Only problem is that it might be as soon as 6 months, or a late as two yrs before they had a spot. He's thinking sooner than later. Besides, I could always fall back on the IT field if I needed too.

I'd sell the car to completely free up any debt as well as pocket a little money. The only debt we'd have would be the mortgage and my wifes car. Then if we were to move there, the only debt we'd bring with us is my wifes car. We'd stay with my old neighbor for a few months until we moved into a apartment. We'd live in an apartment for a year then start looking to buy/build a house.

My family is there.

The cost of living is way cheaper. Check out this house. 107 Lonestar Ct, Murfreesboro TN 37129 | Homes.com
I paid more than that for my little cracker jack box house here in VA.

My wife and I are wanting to start a family and if we were to move there, she could be a stay at home mom.


Con's

Selling the car and not hanging out with you guys.

Moving away from my wifes family.




Wow....sorry Joe for mucking up your thread. I feel a little strange putting my personal life on the interweb...

Vette or not, you know you are always welcome Tommy! We are going to spread bad rumors about your car, that way we can keep you in the area a little longer...LOL

They sent you a box of oxygen? Must have something to do with the opti-spark, I never had to order special oxygen when I did the exhaust on my C4.
