I know exactly what you mean...I was feeling pretty humble and beat up after a few hours of 80-100K cars.

If you think 8K is bad for your car, check out this Ebay auction link. Guy just got 15K for a roller car with no engine, no back seat and needs a full resto. Comes complete with bondo flares already installed.

69 Z/28 Ebay Auction

I would probably have some difficulty finding a buyer at that price for my '80 Vette even considering it has a matching number engine AND is already FINISHED! Oh well.
