Don't do it!

sorry to hear that Tom.....I hope you guys are doing better.........
Maybe time to start the 308 search again?

 

Still time to get back in the game.

 

I still go through periods of missing my 308 but then I go look at my TR and forget what I was dwelling on. best thing for old love is new love!

 

Been there done that! Best to start the search this afternoon, as the anguish doesn't go away till you have another in the garage. Trust me on this. PULL THAT TRIGGER SIR!

 

Sorry to hear of your personal issues and I wish you well.
After 14 years of ownership I sold my 308 just a little over a year ago. I loved the car and enjoyed it a lot but after a while I realized I was not using it as much as I should have. Being retired I would have thought I would enjoy it more but for some reason I became maybe more concerned about driving it. I did not take it out in the rain and at 1st snow it went into storage. I put 30K miles on it in 14 years. I decided it was time and I had my Ferrari experience so on to a more comfortable fun car that works in the rain as well as the drive. I missed it for maybe 3 months until I got my new ride. So being in the red zone of my life the time for a convertible arrived. I now have the same thrill looking at my car and knowing I will drive it anytime I feel like it without concern for weather. I still go out into the garage once and a while and like to look at it just as I did with the 308. Nice little kitty , 2012 Jaguar XKR convertible in Italian Racing Red. Life is short so enjoy the ride.

 

Sorry to hear of your and your spouses health issues. It certainly makes it hard to enjoy oneself.

I know what you mean about not driving as much as you would like. My car is neatly tucked to the side of my garage and will not come out until the salt has been rinsed from the road by a spring rain sometime in late March or April.

But then I think about the smile it puts on my face on a sunny spring, summer, or fall day! What a pleasure whether just cruising along or working up through the gears at full throttle!

It is likely that in the next three or so years I will need to sell my 308, it will be hard for sure. I have been considering keeping it and perhaps I will but living in a place where the may speed limit is 30mph it would seem kind of silly to have such a car. I was considering a 208 but maybe keeping the 308 makes more sense.

 

My kids will have to worry about selling all of my toys, because I'm not getting rid of any of them. Yeah - they don't get driven enough. Yeah - sometimes the upkeep is a pain. But, I won't sell them.

 

Sincerely sorry to hear of your personal issues as I wish you all the best.

 

I go through this every once in a while too. Replace it and that goes away for the most part. I recently bought a 355 and that fixed everything.

 

Really??? Did your 308 sell?

Also, I went to text you a week or two ago and it seems I lost your number. Wanted to ask how you and your family were doing.

Sorry to hear of yours and your wife's health problems,

I know what you were facing, one morning my wife and I woke up after both being layed off the evening before. We discussed selling the Ferrari, and decided to hang on to her.

They say the best way to get over one car is get under a new one!

 

See, this is what I like about Tom! He's a lot like Rifledriver as in there's no "gray area" to the point he's trying to convey! LOL

 

What he said.

 

I have one left, Tom, you can have it, I'll go get a 360 Spider......*(^)*& it!!

Best wishes to my friends, WAY up there in the frozen UP!!


They just dropped a red Z28 off the truck today too, at the downtown Chevy dealer!
But, it's kind of homely.....
