I just had a coworker send me this.

On an unrelated topic, have any oppos ever seen their old car being sold? I just saw my old Integra that got totaled being sold for more than what I paid.

Saw my Mercury Sable on Craigslist once. I could have done without the reminder of that dark automotive period in my life

After I sold my Mustang I drove by the dealer and they had it up on one of those display platforms. The pangs of regret were strong.

I saw my first car being sold a few month after trading it. Than a year later a tow yard was sending me a notice telling me it’s gonna be auctioned off.

Seen it. The dealership it ended up at made a video of it.

The day we got her.

Final clean, the day before she went back to Skoda to be swapped over.

About two months after she left us.

I kid you not, I’ve seen this happen. Customer trades in a car, buys new car. Doesn’t like old car after a couple of weeks, trades it back in for old car.

Well, that was probably a good riddance. I feel genuinely sad for anyone who has to drive a Sable or it’s siblings.

You probably traded it in cleaner than the day you got it.

Yep. Only good thing I can say is it drove relatively fine for a year with a cylinder misfire and leaky headgasket.

Oh! It did have one feature I’ve never seen since. You could shut the car off, remove the key, open the door, and still roll the window back up. Strange “feature” but I did like that

Sort of, she was built to order, but when she landed in the U.K. I gave orders for the dealership to PDI the car but not wash or do anything else with her.

They know me as, ‘the guy who won’t let us wash his car’.

Yup:

Matter of fact it might still be for sale. It’s still on Facebook Marketplace.

I would probably believe just about anything you told me if you used Keri Russell to say it.

“Why yes, Felicity, I totally agree that jasmine rice is inferior in all ways to other rices.”
