Karen,

Your post threw me for a loop. I've posted back and forth with Gary on the forum many times (because we both had supercharged 4Runners) and when I read the first line my eyes popped out because I saw the "My name is Karen" and I thought to myself "No way, Nacho is a lady?"

But then I read the next sentence, and the sad news. I am very sorry for your loss. If his nature online was any indication of his nature in person, I'm sure Gary was a great person and that he will be missed terribly.

While I never met him in person, he did give me a lesson in humility.... that I should never be so quick to judge, and that I should be more patient. When he first got on the forum, I got an attitude with him after answering several of his "newbie" questions. When he told me about his situation and explained that he was doing his best, I realized that you never know who's on the other side of the computer. That stuck with me. I've tried to me more patient since, and remember that everyone starts somewhere.

Good luck with the sale of the 4Runner, you could easily get 9k for it in my opinion, if you just hold out the right buyer will come along.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss, and hang in there.
