Unhappy I've made the most difficult decision.

Hi SSR family, I've had to make a very difficult decision. I light of my recent and not so recent set backs, and the economy the way it is, I've decided to get rid of my SSR. I've tried with all my might these past couple of years to hold on to my beloved SSR but I had to come to the realization that it has become an anchor around my neck and I can no longer bear the burden.

The past 6 years with my SSR family have made a lot of precious memories that I will remember forever. I never expected when I bought my R that it came with so many great people and friends. I will not look back on my time with my R with regret....but rather be thankful for the time I had her and all the fun times I had.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me in my difficult times with encouraging advice and also those who helped with technical issues and parts for my R. I will check in on you all from time to time, and to my San Antonio fanatics......this does not mean I won't be showing up at the eat & greets.....you still need a short little Mexican to pick on.....so I'll be there.

Say it isn't so ? Darlene and I will certainly miss you and your beautiful "R".
Looking back we had some great times during our E&Gs. We have always considered you a very good person and friend. Please stay in touch so we will be able to get together from time to time over a good meal and tell a few lies. With or without the "R", you will always be part of the fanatic family. Good luck in your future endeavors my friend.
Darvel & Darlene

Sorry you have to sell your SSR.
Although we never met in person, I've enjoyed your posts and comments over the years.
Best of luck to you, Mikeyram for the future!
Check in here from time to time and let us know how you're doing.

Hi Mike,
I have never met you or seen your R in person but I can say from seeing the pictures of your R in your gallery that you have put a lot of yourself into your truck. The paintwork is very tasteful and beautiful and I can tell that it pains you to let her go. I can only say that your work on your R is very influenceful in my quest to make my R my own.
Mick

Mikey I totally understand. I miss BRUISSR, but reasons for selling were right at that point in time. The friends met because of the SSR are the best.....you can't sell that!

Some decisions are tough to make but you have to do what is best for you in the end.
I know the SA group will not let you go away.
Just like you said in the first post.
Who will Carl and Tom pick on if you don't go to the M&G's.
I have met Mike and he is one of the nicest Fanatic members I know.
Good luck Mike.
