Divorce Fallout: I have to say goodbye once again

[RetroLounge]

This time to 2 objects I've owned and loved for years.

My pair of 1958 Oldsmobile Super 88's, one hardtop and one wagon...

I sold them both to a guy from Norway, and a man from Michigan is picking them up tonight. Just another set of objects fallen victim to broken love...

Sigh. :cry:

3. Oh, RL...

...I'm so sorry. :cry:

I've had to give up a pair of restored Broncos and a catamaran along my path - I feel your pain. :hug:

4. Ah, that sucks

It's hard to part with stuff like that. But OTOH, it's just stuff. You can always get more.

Best of luck to you. :thumbsup:

5. That stinks man.

Sorry. :hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Dude!

That'd damn near kill me. :cry:

7. Shit.

My sincere condolences.

Who is getting the Heywood Wakefield?

[RetroLounge]

12. The Heywood Wakefield gets split evenly...

I get the bedroom set, she gets the dining room set, I get the Ashcraft livingroom set, she gets the desk and living room tables.

I love HW Furniture!


Some of the money from the sale of the cars goes for my new laptop. The rest pays bills.

:shrug:

8. My dear RetroLounge!

YOu scared me! I thought we were losing YOU.....

And that would be too much!

I am sorry about the cars, but they are things, after all....

THEY can be replaced, sort of....

You, on the other hand, are irreplacable.......:loveya: :hug:

[RetroLounge]

23. ...

9. I'm so sorry for your losses.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

10. I'm really sorry, RetroLounge.

They're very beautiful.:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

11. Man, those are great-looking cars.

I hope the new owner treats them with the love and respect they are due.

They truly don't build them like that anymore.

[BikeWriter]

13. I've ridden many miles in an Olds '58 Super 88. Great cars!

I'm sorry you had to sell them.

[Callalily]

14. Those are fine, fine cars!

Too bad that you had to give them up. But . . . maybe becoming a minimalist is a good thing? I think we all have too much stuff. Only possessions . . . hold on to what is really important!

15. Being a car

lover I understand. Wow take anything but my car.
So sorry to hear this.

16. A guy from norway? Did he give you a cashier's check?

And you're going to give his friend the extra money left over?

[RetroLounge]

17. His friend gave me a US cashiers check

RL

[radwriter0555]

19. Is the check for over the amount that you were asking for the car?

This is important. Are you supposed to give his friend some money back?

[RetroLounge]

22. It's handled...

and no, no money back...

The cars are going to storage in Michigan to be restored there.

18. And I was pissed about losing the pasta bowls

...On the plus side, my new girlfriend came equipped with a set. :D

It'll all work out. :thumbsup:

21. Dude, you are "Even Steven"

funny how life can work like that

My ex got all the kitchen stuff, which is okay because I can't really cook in the kitchen in my new place. On the plus side, I got the cats and got to keep all my musical gear.

It really does all work out in the end

[xchrom]

20. sorry, retro -- cause those car rock.

[In_The_Wind]

24. Take heart in knowing they are going to a good home.

I'm sorry RL.
