Sorry to see the words “I Give up”.  
In the last 5 years, you didn’t think of coming back here for help?

I/we can’t help you if you don’t want help.  
Carry on.

I’m interested, I have a Sadomasochistic complex, but I’m in Atlanta, and I don’t have a trailer. And, My wife would kill me too. But, I’ll think about it. I have a 2002 2-seater and wanted a four.

The 2002 e825 has been known to cause strokes, heart attacks and the occasional bain dramage.

Hopefully you can find your calm getting it to another home. They can be fun when they are functioning and on smooth roads but that can change on one bump in the road.

Thanks. I had a trailer, I thought, but the guy sold it out from under me. I wouldn’t mind the trip up. It would give me a chance to visit some friends in Chapel Hill. Renting a trailer will just add even more cost to the car. I still want to buy a light trailer, but cannot afford retail. Who knows what may happen. Thanks for the thought.
