Since I am the one who started all this a long long time ago, I can comment that life at times just happens. I have not been active for many years for many different reasons. I do lurk from time to time and have seen the dramatic decline in activity over the years.
For me, I had to sell my bird several years ago as I saw on the horizon what was coming... divorse and all that goes with it. On top of that I had a lot hit me with health issues for last six years which will never go away. I even found myself homeless for awile.
I do hope to one day own a Firebird again as the person who bought mine said I can buy it back at any time. They have done a lot to it as it sat for a long time as I just could not afford to keep it going. The owner keeps me updated and sends me pictures of her. She just got a new shiny rebuilt engine which I finally found out it was original to the car.
I am lucky as a lot of good things have happened in the last year. Still will be awhile before I will own my car again as my family has grown with three more great daughters. I always wanted a big family and I got it with four daughters.
As aways, thank you as I am just the wizard behind the curtain.
