Well it looks like collecting diecast is over for a bit. I'm in good enough position not to sell anything, but my focus won't be in my hobby for a while. For those of us with families and houses know and understand through life, when priorities are set in place, collecting comes last.
If you guys remember, I made this post back in Sept about buying our 1st house.

Well it was setup on a nice Rent to own option. You rent it for 24 months, and everything in that 24 months becomes your major down payment on the house, and rent becomes your mortgage payment at a cheaper rate.
Well I found out this week that the guy who had us locked in the rent to own option, wasn't making the payments to the bank on our house, or 3 other houses including his own. So now the home we are renting and planning to buy has went into bankruptcy. The house was turned over to a Trustee, who then has brought in a Realtor to see the house. She put a sign out in the yard today and a lock box on the door. I don't have one thing packed, and now Wife, Son, and myself havent even begun looking for a new place yet. I mean, I know the market's still down and it might not be hard, but this isnt what we asked for or signed up for.
They are giving us 60 days from Monday, but it's still not a fun chapter in our lives that we are about to endure.
I enjoy alot of my friends here from [MENTION=103]moparbob[/MENTION], [MENTION=13]Ron3fan[/MENTION], [MENTION=2596]dgrove[/MENTION], [MENTION=2963]DEJRFAN65[/MENTION], [MENTION=24]kspool[/MENTION] and the rest of you that I get to take a break of crazy life and enjoy some nascar talk. So i'll try and check in when I can but I'll probably be absent most of the time.
[MENTION=13]Ron3fan[/MENTION], [MENTION=2351]gwcdiecast[/MENTION] I personally want to apologize to you guys because I was in the middle of deals with you guys holding cars for me. As of now I probably won't be able to pick them up. My apologies and I hope you are still able to get the cars sold.
But as much as this sucks, I've still got a incredibly beautiful wife and a son that has changed my life forever, and even though its not bright right now, I know we still have a bright future ahead.
Besides, it looks like we got pack racing back at Daytona, so it could be much worse lol.
Just want to update my situation. Thanks
Joey
