A sad day for me.

Kevin,

Or if you don't mind, kev.... lol.

I feel your pain.

But let me add, I wish I had a pool. I mean, I really, really, really, wish I had a pool. And so does my dog (A portuguese waterdog) and my fiancee (btw, how do you make that cool little tilde over the second "e" in fiancee)
would also love a pool. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'm not quite sure which, there is really no where to put one in my house. -- Lets not forget that I moved to LA from Miami where every house has a pool.
- I used to wake up in the morning, go for a swim, come home from work, go for a swim, spend saturdays and sundays with the dog and friends, going for swims, making bbq's, etc. I miss it so much and almost didn't buy my house because of no pool. But I couldn't pass on the investment opportiunity.

To be honest, I've been having some car problems, if somebody asked me today if I would trade in my car for a pool, I might be swayed.
Don't get me wrong, the car is great, the new mods awsome, but it has cost me a fortune and it is still broken. (needs another $1300 to get running.) I am starting to really regreat not having a warranty on a car I track a lot. Or just on an old car period.

- So, here's the good news. SKIP BARBER. Shifter Karts, furture car purchases and new car smell. You have plenty of options if you want to drive fast. Maybe as part of the sale your fiancee will allow you to do the 3 day racing school at Laguna Seca with Skip.

- or maybe we can make a deal. I'll let you drive my Porsche if you let me come swim in your pool, of course the Fiancee and puppy have to be allowed too

- on another quick note, are you going to install solar panel's to heat the pool. If I were building one, I think that is what I would do. But I also have not done a cost comparison. But I do have a friend who keeps his pool heated all year round, pays a energy bill of $1000/mo to keep it warm. But he is also an exercise nut and does his whole workout in the pool. Just curious if you have looked into it?

Take pics before she goes. And be glad you got to enjoy her and is being passed onto someone else. I wouldn't worry about the car problems, as long as you give full disclosure, you have no reason to feel responsibile for any future problems. He knows he can buy certified pre owned.
