An odd human-machinery bond...

I'm in a dilemma too about selling or keeping the truck kinda like Tacoma750. My gf and I have a '91 Civic hatch with only 172XXXkms/107XXXmils on it....just a baby and then BigBlue, my '91 Toy p/u with 325XXXkms/202XXXmi running pretty good. My folks are selling their '94 Civic sedan for around $1300 with 202XXXkms/126XXXmi still running amazing but needs the bodywork in the usual Civic rear quarters another $1000 approx and it has new brakes, rad, tires, fuel lines, gas tank, HG 50k ago, axle seals, interior is mint. Unfortunately we only have room for 2 vehicles so I'm thinking of parking the truck at the cottage or cutting my 'losses' and selling the truck. I'm hoping for a few thousand...thereabouts and will never 'get' my money back but then save up for another 4Runner or p/u when that "gem" comes along, meanwhile driving the Civic into the ground…which should take a while. Ahh, it’s soooo hard to part with the truck…it’s an odd human-machinery bond eh? Any suggestions? If I'm going to store it what do I have to do besides putting it up on blocks and taking out the battery?

Put fresh oil in, try to run it to empty since you dont want to run any old gas when you start her up. Do pretty much a full tune up and you should be fine.
I stored mine for a year with just fresh oil, and she ran great.
