We have been continuing to steadily sell our stuff. Some has been easy to sell, some a bit harder.
This last weekend I sold my 1975 Corvette that I’ve had for 13 years. I woke up and thought “Today is the day I sell my car”. So I took some pictures and listed it on Craigslist. It was sold that night!

It makes sense to sell it on a few levels. First, it doesn’t make much sense to take it to PR. Second, it would cost a lot to ship. Third, the frame would most likely rust away quickly. Fourth, it’s almost 40 years old. Fifth, well the list goes on for a while….
On one of our first dates 13 or so years ago
I was pretty lucky with the car though. I sold it for what I paid for it and I got to enjoy driving around in an old Corvette for many years. Those memories will stay with me forever. We took it on some of our first dates. Schnoodle rode in the cubby area. We took it on our wedding. I even got my first speeding ticket in it.
On the flip side, I don’t have to worry about it any longer. It did leak just about everywhere it could leak from and I was always afraid that it was going to break and cost a lot of time / money to fix. Now I don’t have to pay insurance and registration on another car too. I no longer have those worries floating around in the back of my head which is nice.
Another big item, gone. And another step closer to Puerto Rico.
Took a while to wrap my head around this latest accomplishment. So many facets of your lives were represented in that vehicle. You let go to have the freedom. Good on you, Britton.
Hi Annie,
It is strange how a car, or any of our other material objects, can play a role in defining who we are. Just finding out a lot of this stuff now as I go thru it.
Freedom is nice.
