 I certainly had mixed feelings about selling my B14 which, if you
 remember, had a Level 10 modified auto trans,  full adjustable
 coilover suspension, turbo, nitrous, battery in the trunk, 3" exhaust,
 etc, etc.

It was the onset of osteoarthritis in my spine which led to the
 unavoidable conclusion that I would never work on cars again. I
 decided to sell it to someone who would appreciate what I had done
 (about 500 man hours).

 I really miss it.
