Should I keep it or sell it to someone who will appreciate her more than I will?

I would suggest all forum members not in my immediate area look into the NPR car donation program in their area whether to donate a brick or to buy and resurrect one. Tax title registration and buyers fees made it twice that but I was amazed that my winning bid was basically what auto recyclers/scrap buyers pay for non running heaps. I have owned over a hundred Volvos over the last ten years from this source alone, not to mention all the ones I find online and the ones that find me.

Lots of BMW's and Mercedes as well as a few Saabs, Audis and Subarus. Could have used some kayaks or boats yesterday. The San Marcos swelled its banks about 30ft after the Blanco pushed at 43 ft above its base.
