She's gone

So finally the new buyer was over last night and they took my 99 sedan away. i spent the better part of this past weekend detailing her...inside out...even changed the pads..did safety and other stuff...now when i come to think of it....all that may not have been necessary...maybe. I just remember that i saw the car took the turn out of the garage door and disappeared.

i think i was just emotional...parting with your first car which you have cared and played with so much. though i have the new SI but i miss my EK already.

How do you guys felt when you parted with your first car?

SAL

p.s: posting this in media since pics will follow later

Yeah it's a sad day when you sell your 1st car.
Don't hold it in Sal, just let the tears roll. That's what I did.

Then after I stopped crying, I immedietely sold my aftermarket seats to a friend for $300, made me feel 100x better.

Wow! That was a clean EK sedan!

It is a sad feeling of letting go of your car.
As sappy as it sounds, it's a part of your life. Guess some people just see it as a machine....

It's nice that you took care of her right up until you handed over the keys to another owner. Not a lot of people will do that. Shows that you are a true car buff, Sal.

I still haven't parted with my first car in all these years. It is up for sale though, but I dont really want to see it go.

Sometimes you need to give something up though to move ahead.

A nice car it was.
