Just Sold my Car...and feel Sad - SV650.org

I just sold my car which I've owned for 4 years...this was a BMW 5 series Auto/Tiptronic.

The car had given me trouble free driving most of the time, and now it is gone I feel a little sad.

Anyone felt the same way...when they sold a vehicle?

The big question is what are you replacing it with?

I know the sad feeling, leaving my old 309 Gti was hard, as was selling my twin turbo scooby, which was done over the phone, I wasn't even there to wave it off....

Well seeing as my misses has a car I have no need for one, but I'm hoping with a mind thrilling sv650 very shortly.

That should change the frown to a wide grin

well, not quite because it wasnt my bike

but when i was walking home form the local park back in 1996, i saw a stranger riding off down the road on my dads CB750

my dad had just sold it

that made me sad, because its the first bike i can really remember

I get that feeling too when i spot a lovely bike and think of all the attention and care I could give it, aswell as all the riding i ould do on it

but no, some sod will buy it and thrash it from cold and never lubricate the chain and generally make it suffer

sold my vauxhall carlton back in 88, as it hadn't done more than 3-4 runs in the previous year; as I had bikes and the Mrs had a fiat 127 (didn't like the carlton as it was to big for her), it seemed sensible, not had one since and not really missed it either, on the odd occasion I need one I can use either the wifes or brothers, so not a problem, but then I don't actually enjoy driving, but riding is a different story.

Cheers Mark.

Not sold, but I miss my MkIII Golf GTI, I loved that car and some d*ckhead drove into the back of it and wrote it off.
