Mike I am really sorry you have to sell. Your passion for your truck really comes through. Good luck with the sale and with everything else in your life.

Worst Thread I have to ever start
- Thread starter GotRidOfTheHemiForThis
- Start date
Mike and I have spent a lot of time together. Kind of like Macchio and Morita (you gotta be old to get that one)...
Mike is a focused young man with his head screwed on right. He is a real clear thinker and I saw this coming after our last discussion. It is the right decision considering his circumstances, and I am proud of him for taking this difficult step.
About the truck...it is beautiful, the man who built it is a craftsman (airline mechanic) and no expense was spared. I can't attest to the mechanical condition, only Mike can do that, but I would be on this truck if I was in the market just because of the quality of the two men that have owned it...they are both sterling people.

Hey Mike, hang in there, trust me its only a toy and that can be replaced. I have had to do the same thing you are doing quite a few times in my life, but things always seem to come around. Give it some time and stick to your plans, who knows I might build another one and you can swoop that one from me as well. Good luck best wishes.

Best of luck on the sale man, sucks you have to let her go, that is one bad azz peice of machinery. Hopefully you can work out a deal with the buyer where if in the case they end up having/wanting to sell it, you get first dibs on a buy-back. Hopefully the economy picks up for all of us.
I am sorry you have to sell...but completely know how you feel. You work so hard for something then have to give it up stinks. I hope your mom is ok. Just remember, you may lose a truck, but you sure as hell won't lose your "family" in here.

Don't worry brother I know i sucks, samething happen to me when the hemis came out I tricked her out had it to 475hp, then shit hit the fan, had to give her back didn't have time to sell and filed bankruptcy (best move I ever made) times where depressing but 2 yrs later now I have a 10. Just go day to day bro, sometimes when we look to far ahead things only seem like a mirage. Good times will come again, Keep your chin up. You live near me so if you ever get the urge to stomp on rubber I let you use mine for the day, no biggie again I love it more than my wife (j/K) we have to remind ourselves it is just a material posseion we can aquire again, once lives are gone that is it. But again if you get rid of yours you can borrow mine from time to time. Not as fast as yours but it gets the job done for now. Hey it is a black one too so it won't ruin your rep. Cheer up bro.
once again I thank you all for your kind comments, im going to try something stupid today with a dealer friend of mine, he wants to try to at least get me into another srt as a day driver. Ill be trying to sell/trade both my dodge rams on a srt cherokee, hes gonna work the numbers for me to see how much I can save per month but im very much not thinking it will be what I need and then it will be just letting go completely of any idea of a good outcome here, im hoping that I dont have to call them to repo it but if that comes dont expect to see me for a while do to my pride being that hurt in this case. I will try and stick around but you all must understand that it will hurt me for a while to even see this site.
Thanks devil dog but once shes gone I dont wanna see another srt 10 again for a long time, this situation has me so upset its not even a option.
I keep hoping something good will happen soon but faith is running low, no options, no luck and nothing but the kick to the head for me lately. Health has been an issue for me as of late, my moms issues with money, work treating me like a dog because I have to go to the doctor and threatening my job cause of it, just plain stress and depression has set in currently. I cannot even really seem to function 100% as of late and this is just the topper for me. Selling my only stress release and happiness beyond my girl.
If I could I would personally thank you all for the support but this is the best I can, so thank you guys again. If you know anyone looking for a mean ass truck pass the word, it aint gonna come much better than this one.......

Mike,
Times are really bad for a lot of us. It pains me to see you go through this, but PLEASE don't think of yourself as a failure! Everyone gets caught in situations that we don't expect. I NEVER thought that I would lose my job last year, and was completely blind-sided by it. I went through a period where I considered myself a failure and a loser, and then realized after looking around, that I am not a failure, I just got caught off-guard. It has been a struggle to try and get back to where I was, and I am still not there, but I know now that I will be soon!
You HAVE to work through this with your head held high, remain strong and proud! If you did it once, you can definitely do it again even better!!
It sounds like you are doing this to help your family too, and that my friend, is by no means failing! Family should always come first, the toys are at least secondary.
I hope the numbers work in your favor and you are able to get the GC-SRT 8!
Good luck bro! We will be praying for you.

These are very difficult times, and sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. But one day these bad times will be gone, but the friendships we make here will last forever.

You mother is way more important than any truck or all of ours combined. I lost my mother and I would sell my truck for anything for 10 more minutes with her.
Well the dealership idea is out (lets say im not stupid nor is my friend who works there). Still for sale currently to a real buyer who wants a bad azz truck.
bump............. might be going to consignment if no one is interested here.
Bump.

GotRidOfTheHemiForThis said:I wish it was that easy, I worked so hard to get this you have no idea. I cannot even begin to describe how it feels to have to list her up, this is truly one of the darker days for me because this metal you speak of is more than that to me, its a symbol for more and it greatly depresses and greeves me to have to do this, when it is sold there will be tears shed and I will take a while to get back to normal
If there was anything I could realistically do I would but ive run through my options and I have nothing, heck im still shaking im so upset right now, I have to log off now, I cant think about this anymore.
Mike...I understand believe me. Made me sick for weeks...and I still miss the shit out of her. Had that truck all but done.
One thing that can be considered is to re-finance her...to lower the payments...it can help:dontknow: if it's an option for ya. Keeps from loosing your A$$ on it....and she can remain in your posession.
Hang in there, and hope everything works out for ya.
id swap ya even for mine today. but that wouldnt help you out. guys if your truly hurting for employment, you might want to look into getting a cdl. i know our guys coming straight out of truck driving school bring home 800-1000 bucks every 4 to 6 days. yes you will be gone from home but you will be able to pay your bills.GotRidOfTheHemiForThis said:Ah heres what I have on the computer currently, I can get more but I need a few days if wanted.
