Default Car is now gone....but for good cause

Well, i am sorry to say that i recently sold the S. I only had it for a little over three months and is replaced with a VW GTI. I sold the car due to very close relatives having finacial problems. My aunt and uncle live in St. Louis. My uncle has epilespy (think that is how you spell it) and my aunt has MS. Bothe are 100% disabled and could no longer afford either of their medication, and they technically make to much money from the government to qualify for food stamps, so they made the toss up, they paid rent and bought food for the family instead of medication. The
MS Society is officially tapped out on money and couldnt do anything for them.
So, i got the S for just under 13,000 (2001 w/45k) i sold it to a surgeon in norfolk for 18,000 plus some mods that i purchased, and sent the money to the family.
Sad to see car go, but it needed to happen.Got the GTI from my work 3 days ago
for about 8,000. I will still hang around and if anyone needs any help with anything just pm me or contact Carlo. Thanks for the few good times i had.

Wow, that displays some fine character. Glad to see some people still have it in this world.

Sorry you had to sell, and I hope your family does well. MS is rough, and epilepsy can be too.

I hope karma comes back to help you out in the future

No wonder if I didn't hear from you for awhile. Nonetheless, you know I'll always invite you to local S2000 gatherings ...
