selling the crown victoria

greg and i were up early this morning to complete the sale for the crown victoria we had bought from my dad many years ago. we've been using his 2005 ford freestyle now. 

selling a car is like selling one's horse . . i hope it has a good new home. it had been very good to us! the man to whom we sold it told me years ago to contact him if we ever didn't want it anymore. he works at the parking garage around the corner. 

i feel sad that we sold it; there are so many memories attached! but i'm also relieved that it's finally done.

    2. I see. It is always a bit sad to sell a car that has been in a family for so long. I remember saying good-bye to our family car, a Ro 80, when I was growing up. That was a very rare car and we all liked it a lot.

    3. Isn't it funny?! The cars take on personalities.

    4. You might laugh at me now, but, as a child, I always thought that the way the headlights of a car "look at you" was like a person with a face. To me, cars had happy, angry, or sad faces.
