Yup. I'm broke. Can't afford to keep them, so they gotta go.

On a positive note, I'm moving the Florida next fall, gonna go back to college, get a career.

Basically, it's come down to either the Cuda, or food.  And I need food more than the Cuda.  After I graduate and get a job, I can buy another one.  Or perhaps get a new Challenger R/T.  It sucks, but it's in my best interest.

Plus, Florida is alot closer to Carlisle than Nebraska is. :D

Man, that just blows. I can understand your choice, though. Good luck with school.

Here's something I learned in school:

Education + Work = Career = $$ = Mopars!

Sorry to hear about the situation, but after you go to school, you will be able to get another one.   Good luck with your future career.   :2thumbs:

Where in FL are you moving to?  There are a few of us down here and you're welcome to hang when we do....at least if you can't have a mopar you can hang out and ride in some every now and then.   :burnout:

I'm in Orlando... :woohoo:

Before you jump into the move, research housing & insurance costs in whatever part of FL you are moving to.  It could add greatly to your cost of living and you'll need to budget for it depending on which part of the state you are talking about. 

Good luck and stick around.

Sorry to hear about this, Ghost.  I understand your choice, though.  I have another year of college left and spent the majority of what I've made this summer on necessities and rent for the house down at school.  I've had a couple thoughts every so often about selling off the Challenger to pay for my school loans, but realize it isn't completely necessary as I have enough time (2+ years before the first payments are due) to begin paying those back.  Good luck with whatever you do and I'm sure you'll be able to find another old MoPar to own in a few years. :2thumbs:
