Goodbye Old Chum
Today marks the 12th time I've sold a car...
Its the second time I've had a heartbreak selling a car...I've had so many I have trouble remembering all of them...it was actually tough to see if I left out any... but these were the ones stuck in my mind cos I could remember them immediately...except one..the Mini cos i had that for only a week...
I've always love cars, I loved driving them even more.
Oh the adventures I had in them...mainly all over malaysia but some places in SG too... my favourite among all of them was a 1995 Suzuki Swift. It had a tiny 1 litre engine, but it was a sedan and the most fun thing I ever had on 4 wheels... the problem was that i only realised it when I sold it and then i was heartbroken... I went everywhere with it, penang, cameron, genting, kl, melaka .... i did the bulk of my malaysian drive trips in it, 2 people in it, 4 people, it was a gem, it had what could be called character. Never did i realise how much i missed it till it was gone. It was also my first and only new car. I loved the simplicity but yet it had almost everything i wanted....sigh
Today came my second heartbreak...not as wrenching as the first..but still...
Just sold my car today, a honda civic, not any normal sedan but a highpowered high performance version, it was fun, it was fast and it handled. I also had this car the longest of any I've ever had, the other averaged 2 years..this one i kept it for nearly 5 years... but it was time to let it go....
sigh..dont know when i will get another car again... its getting too expensive and troublesome to maintain a car here. My bike serves me well enough for the daily transport stuff with the ocassional banzai down a curvy road...
Yeah yeah, some people will say its only a car.. I'd suggest they replace the word car with something they have fun or memories with, and try to repeat the sentence..
For remembrance....the list...
Toyota Starlet
Mazda 323
Nissan Sunny
Daihatsu Charade
Mini
Suzuki Swift
Subaru 700
Nissan March
Ford Laser
Suzuki Swift
Toyota Corona
Honda Civic
