Is'nt it a little late for that Bill? I traded a mint BMW 2002 for mine. No regrets but I would love to have that car back. Wife wanted a 4 door sedan instead of the 2 door Beemer to make access to the back seat easier to load the car seat in for the kid.:crying:

I am proud to say I sold NOTHING to get kids. I sold the following to get MARRIED:
Scuba tanks
1929 AA Ford with express body- remember John Boys truck in the Walton's TV show?
1951 Chevy 21/2 ton flatbed State of NH truck- mint original
Remington 700 BDL Varmint rifle in 22-250.

Kids cost nothing to get. Wife cost alot.
Kids cost lots to maintain!

Wives cost A LOT more to get rid of. Keeping them is a bargain.:nono:

What we do for kids
 
Our daughter came over 2 months early. She spent almost a month in an incubator. I had to sell my hunting rifle to get her out of the hospital. It was a Remington 721 in 270 Winchestor serial number 271200. She's near middle age and I tell her now that I should have kept the rifle. Cheers, Tom

An old adage among us who do divorces for a living: "Why do divorces cost so much? Because they are worth it."

Linda wants me to sell the 460 Country Squire, but I keep telling her that we'll need it when the kids start coming.

You're too honest Tom. Forty years ago when I had nothing to sell so that I could bring my young wife and new baby home from the hospital I went to the hospital bursar's office and handed the lady an expired Blue Cross card (Yes, I knew it was). When the hospital telephoned a few days later demanding payment I said I couldn't pay right away but I could bring the wife and baby back if they insisted.... :whistle:
