Sorry to hear that you weren't able to get as much back as you'd put in for your 'old-timer'. Cars never fetch as much as they should with resale. (Well, maybe if one's a dealer but otherwise, nope.) Once, my car was slammed into by another that skidded through a light. The insurance company said the vehicle was totaled and then they gave me the 'full value' of the car (about $500) so that I could purchase another. Funny how their idea of full value and mine are so different. I had a working vehicle that was paid off and they give me enough $ for a down payment to make more payments. (I found out later that I would have made more just stripping it down and selling the parts.)

I don't understand where anyone gets the idea that they can tell others what to do with their earnings. First of all, it's nobody's damn business. Second of all, I have lots of brass but even I don't have the hang lows to say that to someone. 😲
