Hate to see you sell it, but in real life you do what you have to do.
But, I have one question. You say you didn't have the money but you have the money to buy a 97 Tahoe.
Oops. Just reread, now I see the pratical part too.
Good luck with it and don't be a stranger. Even if you don't have a 73-87, we'll still let you post.
