Chris - I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry! I'm afraid I wrote first and thought
afterwards and want to apologize for my remarks - they were totally
unnecessary, and I hope I'll never be so unfeeling again. I think your
"hostility is NOT out of place and I hope you will forgive me. I also
hope you can manage to solve your problem WITHOUT losing your car - it
would create a double tragedy.

Chris:
If at all possible, keep the Alpine. It is worth more than $$$$ when you
consider the family time together and the family memories that already have
been and will continue to be associated with it. The care and concern you
have shared for your brother and his family is most admirable. I'm sure you
will find a way to work things out, to help your family and to feel
personally a part of their welfare. If it means that you use the money to be
used for painting the Alpine to help out your brother, so be it. The Alpine
will still benefit from the new look in a year, or two or five - or even
ten.
I wish you the best -
Paul from sunny South Dakota (with an Alpine that waited 13 years for a
new look)
