I'm pretty sure it's a term used to indicate a retiring police officer "end duty". Take care Derf!

Well said.
You still have the spirit; I could tell from your post about the new owner driving it home in the rain.
Down the road, we will meet again.

I made the same decision you just made in 1998. I sold my very low mileage 95 Vette. In 3 years I drove it about 5,000 miles and in my mind I couldn't justify keeping it. I don't regret the decision to sell. At the time it was the right thing to do.
In 05 I decided that I wanted another Vette. It took me about 6 months but I found the one I wanted and bought it. It's still somewhat of a garage queen but I now get in almost 4,000 miles a year.
So instead of saying Goodbye I'm saying, See you later.
