Default Thinking of getting out....

As crazy as it may sound,I have been contemplating selling off my cars and getting out of the hobby.Lately,these cars have brought me little pleasure and the upkeep and maintenance which used to be fun is now draining of my time and patience.I haven't shown the cars this year (don't plan on it either) and I'm just getting to the point where I don't want to lift the covers off of them...let alone drive them.I worry about them at night when I sleep and especially when I drive them.Not having fun here...

At 49,maybe I've reached the point where I want to do something different with my life and hobbies.

Been feeling this way now for the last couple of months and I've decided to think long and hard on my decision until the first of the year and if at that time I still feel like I do today,I'll start cutting them loose.My wife thinks I'm insane but once I start thinking this way,I've usually sold myself.A good buddy of mine suggested I sell two and keep one but I could never choose one over the other...these have been dreamcars for me ever since I can remember...and I've been in this game starting with my '70 Z/28 back in 1979.

Never thought I'd hear these words exit my mouth but things change.Am I alone or has anyone else feel like I do?

Confused in Marina (but not doing anything hasty),

John
