[Chevelle-list] Figured it out

[Devin]

Rich-  Thanks for the thoughts.  I went back to turning wrenches for my
previous employer about 6 months ago to provide an income for us since the
store was not able to bring anything home.  My wife continued to run it
since, and we have found a buyer for our inventory, so she'll be out of
there soon as well.  I hate to shut it down, as it's been there since 1966,
but I can't compete with either pricing or inventory.

Sorry to hear that, Devin. I prefer to spend my money at the local shops and
will continue to do so when possible. 

Good luck in your future endeavors.


Rich
