I know the position you were/are in, D. I too decided to sell my car a year and a bit ago. Never looked back. WEll.....Okay, I still occasionally look back and think I should've just stored it. But I got top dollar for it and the timing was perfect. I've had a short road of buying and selling, but now have the car that will quite possibly be my sons or daughters one day. Here to stay.
Congratulations on the sale and purchase. It goes without saying, but that car truly was a nice piece of art.
