i think not...
maybe it is beacause of all the found memories i have driving around in the summer with my husband, the windows open, warm air blowing in, music loud and just us enjoying each others company in a car that we BOTH picked out and liked.
I think that is why...beacuse of all the memories we have with it.

You only had it for one year... How could you have that many memories in it?

No offense of course...

Nope, it depreciated just over $2,000 in 14 months and 17,000 miles. The guy is taking out west to sell, so I'm sure it will go much higher, but it wasn't worth the hassle to me.

Why? It's not like there's a shortage of them out here. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one in SoCal.

He told me he was taking it out west, I dunno. He said that's all his guy there wants.

Thats a pretty rude assumption.

It's best to keep Baked on manual ignore.
It just gets worse from here.

Im surprised no-one attemted to flag him down. I can't imagine not noticing the shower of sparks coming of the back of your tow either. It got down to the axle, that must have looked like the 4th of july.

Then again guessing with generalizations, he is probibly 94 years old and should have had his licence revoked years ago.

Just like that, it was sold. I wanted to get rid of it to save some money on a car payment, and could not wait for it to be gone, but now, just looking at the license plate, i have a bitter sweet feeling.
I am glad we sold it, but it was such an awesome car.

Hey, just ignore Baked. If you haven't noticed by now, almost all of his posts are negative in some way. Just another internet troll.

The 04 was eliminated in lieu of the 05, which is also now gone.

We get bored easily. Now to find car #10 in 5 years.
