"Why does one have to go?"
Good question.
1) I used money to buy the car with the understanding it would go back in savings after I sold it.
2) I have three working cars and a junk 300SD BEFORE the newbie and I can easily park three cars
3) In MD, you can't register a car without inspection and insurance. Once it's insured, you can't drop coverage without returning the plates - or big fine. I can't afford to insure 4 cars.
If I sell the Newbie, I can use the money to put into Strider - or anything else I've been wanting.
This weekend I'll start detailing Newbie - that'll make it tougher to get rid of him.
Either way, one is going up for sale by the end of the month.
