        <![CDATA[ Well, it&#39;s the end of the road for my beloved hobby. I&#39;ve been having fun running, meeting fine folks here and at events, and doing reviews for the
past 4 yrs or so. However, due to pay cuts, car repairs, schooling cost, and everything else that could go wrong going wrong I&#39;ve got to hang it all up.
Coming home to no gas or electric was the final straw that has broken this camel&#39;s back. My family is now in survival mode and there is no end in sight at

			<description><![CDATA[ Eric, best of luck. It&#39;s always hard to hear this kind of thing. One thing I have learned is that there&#39;s always a rebound in life from a low point.
Over the years everyone has dips in their life, but that&#39;s when you find out how much you appreciate your family and having your good health. I&#39;ve
always enjoyed your reviews and your posts here on HRW.
<br>
<br>
Again, best of luck and we&#39;ll all be pulling for you. And I&#39;m sure you&#39;ll be back.

			<description><![CDATA[ Eric, the situation in this country stinks. It&#39;s been rough on a lot of people. This is the first year we didn&#39;t owe taxes, it&#39;s been so bad. Our
business ran in the red the whole year, and that has never happened. We had to dip into our retirement to keep afloat. Whether that will ever be replaced
remains to be seen. What I&#39;m wondering is, where&#39;s our bailout? That&#39;s really nice, the big corporations and banks, especially the banks, get money
to help them, then they... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey Eric:
<br>
<br>
12 years ago lost my job/company car and had to walk home an hour and a half. Told my wife and she said don&#39;t worry, I am leaving you for one of our kids
teachers.
<br>
<br>
Drove a $100 car that I had to put wedges behind the wheels so as not to roll away and sold salvage from store demo&#39;s.
<br>
<br>
Found this job with the lowest pay ever but which I saw huge potential.
<br>
<br>
Today have this beyond wonderful life, make more money than I could imagine!

			<description><![CDATA[ Eric, really sorry to hear of your misfortune. I have had a couple of the worst financial years I can remember, and I can say from personal experience that
possessions mean nothing.(I won&#39;t even go into what I&#39;ve put on the block)
<br>
<br>
Family comes first, <span style="font-style: italic;">always</span>. The love of your kids and your wife are what&#39;s going to pull you through. (and a
little help from your friends doesn&#39;t hurt either)

<br>
All I can say it&#39;s sucks and I think that you will be back pretty soon, just hang in their and things will get better worst part is I sure feel for your
kids because they are victims of corruption.
<br>
I been facing 7 layoffs and I have some nightmares about work sometimes
<br>
and it sad when Americans who want to work can&#39;t do it because we are paying the price of bad management, and that the people who is responsible can get
away with it.
<br>
White collar crime,... ]]></description>

  Not gonna say good-bye, because I expect you will get through this and return soon.

<br>
That&#39;s the way I feel....
<br>
Certainly a bummer about the way things are presently going for you, but having met you personnally, I know you&#39;ll do your best to get things turned
around.
<br>
So because I think you&#39;ll be back when things are better, instead of saying good-bye or farewell, I&#39;m going to say &quot;See you later&quot;...

Hang in... ]]></description>

help out, I am sure that made you proud. I have a friend who is in the same situation.  He sold his computer before he decided to sell his cars.  He brought me
40 of cars to sell yesterday, it just tears me up.

That Slotpoor Chappy I got for a steal on here after missing it

always. The best $30 I&#39;ve ever spent on a non-mag car.

Harry&#39;s Artin Modified he gave me on my last trip out to HRW HQ
