Sad Day

[Demonic Angel]

A few weeks ago I was ecstatic as I took delivery of my brand new Yaris! :D

Now I'm a little down as my old car, a W reg Daewoo Matiz, has just been sold and the guy is picking it up tomorrow... it was my first car and I'm gonna miss it shed loads!

I love my new Yaris, but my Matiz feels like my first baby! Am I just being a saddo - how did everyone else feel when their first car was sold off?

Attached is a pic of my 2 cars, together for the last time!

Cars are a bit like photos, they hold a lot of fond memories, therefore you cant help but become attached, I think everyone knows exactly what your saying

that made me think about all the good times and the bad times... 9 years a trouble free motoring!

Couldn't give my first car away quick enough :(

It was a 'B' reg Escort Ghia 1.6 even as a new driver it bored the 'arris off me.

Yeah, its very easy to get attached to cars, especially your first one...

And its becomes hard to say goodbye...

Best thing you can do to a Clio . I drive one for work and I can confidently say without shadow of a doubt that it is BY FAR the worst car I have ever driven (and I have driven early 80's Skoda 110's!!). Drives rubbish and is falling apart due to very poor build, its only 18 mths old. I don't want to tempt fate cos I don't wanna get hurt. Hopefully some scumbag TWOC'r will nick it and do just that! :D

I never sold my first car - I got it scrapped. A little red 1st gen R5GTL.

They came in a truck to pick it up and had to hoist it onto the flatbed using a little crane, cos there were already one or two cars there. They put a strap through the front windows and lifted it up. Broke my heart to see the roof buckle.

The thing had cost me twice as much to run for a year as it had cost to buy it, and it was a seriously cr*p car (especially compared to recent small cars like the Yaris) but I was still sorry to see it go...

i wasnt attached to mine....

but i had a saxo.. so i suppose theres a reason.. lol

anyway, your new yaris will be lots beter than your little matiz.

Its say to sell a car.. but its better then seeing it go to a graveyard on the back of a scrap truck like my old red supra did *sniff*

Yeah i was gutted when i traded my little Peugeot 106 in...... saying as Toyota only gave 250 notes for it, when realistically i could have got £750 for it - at least!!

Well my little Matiz has gone off now and has hopefully gone to a new home that'll take good care of him!

I miss him already and I'll always have a soft spot for Matiz's, but I love my Yaris and wouldnt trade it in for the world!

I got quite a good price for my Matiz anyway, much more than Toyota would have offered me!

But I guess I'd prefer to see him driven off by a new buyer than driven off to be scrapped....

I know exactly how you feel!!!
