have you ever become really attached to a car?
« on: September 27, 2006, 03:24:20 PM »
just moments ago i watched a truck thats been in the family for 20 years ride off into the sunset on the back of a flatbed. it got to the point where it was more expensive to keep up than it was 'worth'. we'd put over 233,000 miles on it, and countless memories, and it never let us down. we donated it to the kidney foundation who will auction it off near mexico, hopefully to someone who can use it.

i know its just a car but i damn near cried watching it go for the last time :'(

My car was stolen and completly stripped.... Extremely emotional for me, tears were shed. No insurance as well  :'(
If i ever found who did it i would murder them with my hands (after i had tortured them for several hours with a blender)

Yes.  When I got married my husband had 4 cars and I had one.  He told me in the scope of things mine was not practical so I should sell it.  I told him two of his were definitely not practical and he should sell them.  He agreed to sell one of his.

We put them both on consignment at appropriate dealers.  One day I received a call.  "We have a check here for you!" the excited voice said.  I burst into tears.  My husband was very concerned and held me until he found out why I was crying.  He thought my reaction was strange to say the least.

When his car sold I went to comfort him thinking he may actually be upset.  He could have cared less about the car and was happy it finally sold.

I was quite attached to my last car, and then one day I took it in for an oil change and they told me I had a broken front strut (i suspected it, and so I asked them to check).  Then they told me how much it was going to cost to fix (they had to replace the spring along w the strut) . . . and so I detached myself from that car and got attached to a new one.

Funny, I look back on the trucks I got that were kinda old cause I wasn't rolling in money more fondly than any new vehicle I have ever bought since I started making some decent money.

A co-worker of my mother gave me a 68 Mustang when I was a senior in highschool. She said if I could get it out of her drive way I could have it. I was able to bump start it with a friend and drove it home. It was rough but, I was able to fix it up pretty nice, and put a nice stereo in it. It was a straight 6 with a 3 speed transmission. I drove that car back and forth to College for a year, which was about a 120 miles. I used to talk to her all the time, you know like" come on baby just get me home one more time" That car never let me down. Anyway, I walked out of the dorm one day and saw a crowd gathered around the parking lot, some idiot had plowed into my parked car and totaled it!! Man was I pissed, I planned and plotted on how I could fuck that guy up for a long time, people had to actually talk me out of doing some crazy shit. I loved that car and in an instant it was gone :(. I have had many other cars since then, but you always remember your first ;D

my first car was a jeep wrangler . . .  :-\ it was too underpowered for city driving. i took it off-road far fewer times than i thought i would.

i'd get a rubicon, if i was getting one of those.  it was also a gaz guzzler.
