Not really a first, but things have been much better in general the last 6 months vs the previous, oh, 5 years.

Hah - glad things are looking up for you. Things, for some odd reason have been really down for me the past month.

Now that I think about it - I sold the NSX just over 1 month ago.

About the only advice I can offer is that some down time makes you appreciate when things are going good.

Probably some of the best words I've heard.

The guy who I sold the car to did ask me what I was planning next, at which time I told him something with cash. He told me that it was a very mature decision - sometimes you have to let go of some things now, to better yourself for the future.

He said he had to do the same thing when he was younger - now he owns a 07' 997 Turbo, 03' E55 AMG, and 01' NSX-T (mine).

We tend to take for granted that we even have the opportunity to own these cars when we're young... A lot of people have to work for many years to get there.
