How real estate is affecting one car owner

Here is a post on a thread at Club Lexus that I just had to read more of, it starts out with:
Hello my fellow GS driving/owning/admiring brother and sisteren.

Today, I got a call and I have to make one of the toughest decisions ever. Do I sell my baby (that I have worked SO hard for) in order to help my mother with saving her house, or do I try to find other means of helping her get the money?

Obviously I am going to help her either way, but should it have to come down to my baby? I've only owned her for 5 months, just started to make her my own and mod it, and now I'm faced with selling her, just to help out.

Have any of you ever been faced with a decision like this?



For more about how this owner dealt with the problem and even more interesting how the problem started go here.

Cars for sale site

This is a site that one of the Club Lexus members put me onto.
It's called Humble Performance and the link is to the classified section, the only unfortunate thing is that it all makes and models so one has to wade through all of the other stuff to get to a Lexus.
