[DML] Re: Wife orders 5252 to be sold

["patmolamphy" <patmolamphy@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is no financial need to sell this car.  We are in the process 
of moving, and it's either the car goes into storage or gets sold.  I 
know if I put the car in storage, it will go down hill from there.  
It's been garaged since I've owned it, and I've been TOLD that the 
next house will not be a storage bin for my cars.

So, faced with keeping the car in storage, or selling, I think 
selling is the best thing to do.
