But it was how she ended up expressing that tore me up inside..

She actually cried for me. Cried for the fact that I had been so reckless in this boondoggle. We had a small fight, I chewing her out and she me until it eventually blew over and we cooled off. What I did next I still hurt about, but I felt it the right thing..

I put it up for auction.

When she found out, she was relieved.. and still thinks a V8 monster Camaro is safer. But at least I cheered her up and did the right thing for a woman that has done so much for me these past 21 years. And I guess there are two things she really loves in this world..

Our family

And the Camaro.
You did the right thing, Zabo. Your mother's peace of mind should be precious to you.

^^^ She is still correct too, BTW...
