Todays aphorism?
You car never looks as good as it does as when you are loading it onto a transporter for shipment to the new owner.

At least in your mind's eye.
Photo's don't tell the whole story.

Sigh.

Kind'a like when you loose a pet, the solution to your funk is to go right out and get another one and soon your feelings of loss will be a dim memory.

One less 993 C4S in SD...
Its due to 993 C4S's in common (and RL) that I got to know Craig, so I'm a bit nostalgic/sad to see her go. Luckily, the Pcar Force is strong in this one (and his wife), so there are more Pcar adventures to come.

Salt, meet Wound.
Perhaps a keeper for the next owner then...

Or, you get a new pet before you lose the old one.

do what i do.
i often sell a car.
as soon as it lands at buyer's garage, i call him up and pay him 25% more to buy it right back. some cars i owned 5x.... no, i am not kidding.

u should learn from the best ;-)

Kinda reminds me of that Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi.

"You don't know what you had until its gone".

I just rarely sell. And I don't even have anything really unique or collectable.
