    Dude, I've been there, right where you are right now. I'm a Florida native. I was always in the auto business, body shop, auto glass, and sales.I cut out my first windshield when I was 10. I couldn't afford a car when I got my drivers license, so I found a POS 1977 Dodge Aspen 2 door, paid the guy $700, and got the thing running. I drove that car from 1986 to 1992, and my friend I sold it to still has it today. I also owned 3 bars and restaurants, and by 2003, I was burned out. I was going in ten directions and couldn't focus on anything, so I did what you are doing. I sold everything, house, vehicles, toys, everything, and moved to the midwest. It took a year for me to decide that restaurants and bars were where my heart was, and I opened a small place in the big town 40 miles away. It was great. I felt like I could breathe again. Well, one led to two, then two led to three locations, and then I started all over again with cars, and I was back in the same situation I moved away from to Florida to get away from. By 2013, I was exhausted again. I woke up on a Saturday and told my family I was selling everything again and we're going home to Florida. By 2014, we were back in Florida, and I'd returned to the service industry with a small beach adjacent spot. I did that for another 8 years, and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I was working at our family shop on my days off just because I can't be without some grease under my nails. I can't help it. I love cars, everything from repairs to sales. I can talk cars with a total stranger until they just walk away, and they have, believe me. I've been in another Southern state since 2022 doing basically nothing, mostly car appraisals when I can to kill the boredom. Last week, I looked at a nice corner building with three bays, a waiting area, offices, and forty parking stalls. I've got the fever again. There is something about the smell of a service bay and the banter with the customers and mechanics I am addicted to, apparently. My point is happiness comes in all forms, and in business it's better to know when to get out, step back, and remember why you do what you do and ask yourself if you still want to do it and if you do, what will you do different. The alternative is to keep on spreading yourrself too thin and ruin everything you've worked hard for to build. Vent on, my friend. I've been there too. You'll figure it out and feel like a new man soon. I'll still be here watching and liking.

      @@richardmorris7063 oh yeah, I'm a Southerner and that decade of midwest 8 foot snow drifts and needing to buy a plow blade for my small tractor to clear my driveway was definitely a part of my decision to leave. My property had about 1/4 miles of driveway. No way was a shovel going to cut it. On bad days the rural gravel roads would turn into an ice sheet and I lived up a small hill. It was a great property, miserable in the winter. That's why I ended up staying in the South, well below the snow and ice belt.

      There are various methods to slow down the damage. Coatings (applied yearly) and meticulous cleaning (that most people will not be bothered with) but in the end the corrosives will prevail. The corrosives used are getting stronger and used far to often in more and more places.
      The only solution is keep a vehicle stored during the corrosive season, replace the vehicle every few years or move to an area that doesn't see snow and ice.

    Craig I personally think you are crazy leaving New Hampshire, it's your home brother, it's where your family are, and it's where you've built a reputable business and everyone knows and trust you there. I don't think you need to move Craig, it will disrupt you kids schooling and everything!
    You just need to clean out all the crap at your dealership and get shot of all the clunkers and crap, invest a little money and revamp the place and then start re-stocking the place with good affordable vehicles to suit every pocket.
    Packing up and moving won't get rid of the problem it will just mask it for a while. At the end of the day you can only do what you know is best for you and your family, and no one knows your family better than you. I hope you make the right decision buddy???

      F that!

The initial resistance to a major move wears off in a matter of days. It's a GREAT opportunity for the kids...to have to learn how to handle not being comfortable for a brief period; to make new friends; experience new things, etc. And it gives them perspective...maybe they'll really miss their best friend..or maybe they'll realize that there are even better ones out there and they were just friends because of physical proximity. It's a true growth opportunity. Kids who have had to move a time or two always have a leg up in life.

    Craig - we also became so SICK of the cold among other things in NY - sold off around 50% of belongings (family of 6) that sat within a 3900 sq ft house. I’m like you - “collector.” I should say, was. We moved and my one piece of advice - if you think you sold enough - sell another 25%. lol. After arriving in sunny Florida - we realized how little we needed as you are always out and about. Not hibernating/collecting. Good luck - we moved 3.5 years ago and never looked back…. best decision ever.

    It was nice meeting you at Barrett Jackson Saturday and chatting with you for a bit. I’ve been watching your videos since Covid and what’s kept me watching is that your videos are…real. Although watching someone daily drive a supercar, or watching a tour of a $100 million dollar yacht are cool, I find your videos much more entertaining because they’re real and relatable. Do what makes you happy, like I said…I moved to south Florida 12 years ago and my only regret was not doing it sooner. I sold everything I had in Ohio and came down here without knowing anyone or anything. I built a life, met an amazing woman, and started a great family…this is what makes me happy (year long beautiful weather helps tremendously). You and your family will LOVE it here. As for your cars, maybe try and do like a giveaway or raffle, or something. Maybe it will give/inspire others to get into flipping cars that couldn’t otherwise do so. If you’re ever in or around Palm Beach and need a hand or wanna grab a drink…let me know.

    in terms of "stuff" well this is what happens when people make money and keep spending spending spending and using kids and happy wife happy life as an excuse. in the end you are never going to be satisfied. im happier making a little less money, and also cutting out buying anything that isnt a NEED anymore. its pretty rare i "treat myself" with material items. to have an entire dumpster and still not done means yall buy too much crap.

Like the skyline that's not a gtr. Yes during covid it was a $40,000 car well times have changed gtr's are everywhere. The r34 became legal and the r33 is the least wanted model and there is nothing about it that sets it apart or makes it rare production anymore. It MIGHT be a $20,000 car now on a good day. The paint job which I know was expensive actually hurt the value because everyone knows it's not a real MNP. R34 gtt turbos can be had for $30-40k now all day.
