I'm so pathetic - crying over a sold car

[toepick]

I just sold my Jetta and I am honestly crying.  A lot.  I bought that car in 2002.  I was newly engaged, and so happy.  It was the first car I ever bought.   I know it's just a car, but it has been with me through a lot since then.  I'm just going to blame the cold medicine, OK.  This is pathetic.

I'm going to distract myself with a photo of my pretty new car.

I don't think it's pathetic.

I cried when I sold my first and second car. Lots of memories and road trips with those cars.

But I look at my current car and OMG, I love it sooo much.

I bought my first car when I was 19, it was brand new and I was so proud of myself. After I had children it sat in the driveway for 5 years beacause I couldn't part with it. I finally sold it last year and I cried. No shame, i get it.

I did the same thing when in sold my VW Cabrio. It was my first car purchase and I got it right out of college. It wasn't wven running had had bought a new car already and I cried all the way home from work the day it was sold. Hugs I understand.

I cried too when we sold our jeep. I loved our jeep so much. We had it 7 years.

Enjoy your new ride. She's pretty

[WOT?*]

I still miss my first ever post-divorce car occasionally. Even DH has his moments of missing it. Handy little thing, that Escort wagon. But you'll love your pretty new car. Congratulations. It's so shiny and no doubt new-car-smelly.

Turns out new cars don't have tape players. Or ashtrays. My 2002 Jetta had both

I cried too. I love my new car now and when I got it. But from the time I knew I needed to sell till it was sold I was a mess.

HAH, my first car totally had a tape player. 

I had to get one of those cassette adapters so I can play CDs. LOL.

It did also have a CD player.   Shockingly, I found a mixed tape in the player when I cleaned it out.

I cried when I traded in my Dodge Neon. It was the first car that was mine (not a hand me down, bought by my ex,etc).

When I sold DH's truck and the new owner drove it away, I almost burst in to tears. So many memories.


I feel your pain. ::hug::

I posted below about the 4Runner. I'm totally going to cry when I trade in my Pilot. Both my babies came home from the hospital in that car. Sniff.

i cried when we got rid of my first car. i got all riled up about how my dad and i would never work on a car together again.

eta: which turns out to be not true as i needed a new blinker and spark plugs in my van the last time i went up to visit

I really want a fancy new car, but I'm having such a hard time getting rid of my 2000 Jetta. I went to look at the new ones, and none of them felt right.
