...and I'm a little sad.

It was sold and paid for a couple of weeks ago, but the new owner just came and picked it up today. Fortunately, he's a great guy and I know that it's going to the right place.

Eleven years. The only car that I've ever kept longer was my '89 Civic Si.

Farewell, old friend.

First of all, Duke - Bravo!

Woody: I had the same feeling when some college kid drove off with my 93 Civic hatch.

I feel your pain.

I also sold my wonderful Miata quite a while back and have regretted it every day since. I absolutely refused to sell it to a guy who wanted to give it to his teenaged son who was talking incessantly about a body kit and stereo system while looking at it in my driveway and instead sold it to some local autocrossing friends. That make it somewhat better but I still miss it.

I had the same feeling when some redneck punks came to pick up my SVT contour, I sold it to them though cause I needed the money!

That situation is like selling your horse to the glue factory. You know it will die an ignoble death.

Any replacement in mind or is this a thinning of the herd?

Oh, it's already been replaced, but it did involve a thinning of the herd. I sold two cars and bought one.

Would the replacement be the Porsche?
