I'm part exchanging my car tomorrow and am actually sat here crying to think that I'm not going to see my car again
My hubby thinks it's hilarious and I'm a weirdo but after over 5 years of driving the same car every day, it feels odd that I'm getting rid of it. I remember the day I bought it and I loved it, I kept looking out the window at it. Tomorrow I'm taking it back to the garage where I bought it from and leaving it there

You'll learn to love the new one but will never forget the old one.
I have loved many cars ...some of them for their faults and foibles more than anything else .
I feel you should do one of those scenes with really happy music where you spin round with the car, then laugh with the car, roll around in leaves. That kind of thing.
Unfortunately, like a pet, they often don't last as long as we do. Remember the good times, and more on to ventures new.
By the time I've part exed my previous cars, I've been so f-ed off with them and their constant refusal to actually work/pass an MOT that I laughed all the way to the garage to abandon them there forever. Bastards.
Yesterday morning I took the car for a final spin and when I went to the garage to part exchange it I had tears in my eyes! I told my hubby not to say anything to the staff as it would set me off talking about it. What was worse is that the place was so full I had to park my old car right next to the new car, instead of being excited over the new car all I could think about was having to drive right past my old car in the new car. The car was so reliable else I prob would have just been pleased to see the back of it.
New car going great even though we are now being told it is a 1.2 not a 1.4, they kept changing their minds, according to insurance it's a 1.4 and the engine says 1400 on it and all the paperwork states that, yet a little sticker in the car says 1.2 and the gear box is 5 speed which the 1.2 are and the guy who handed us the keys said it's def a 1.2. It drives like a 1.2 IMO. grrrrrr will have to see what the registration doc says when we get it through.
