Default My first weekend with an empty garage

Well this was the first weekend with an empty garage and it was weird. All that empty space in there!

My wife spent most of the weekend out of the house with her car so I was literally stranded for most of it. Haven't had that happen in a while.

My brother also got a shock when he bought over his new girlfriend to introduce her to us, and went into the garage to show off the car to her... "Where the hell is it!!" he cries...

Ok...I obviously missed something.

Where is it? You didn't get rid of it, did you? :(

Yes I did Chris, delivered it to the shipping company on Thursday of last week, and it's currently speeding towards the state of Queensland and I think it should arrive there tomorrow.

Awe, man...I loved your car. I hope it got a good owner after you...

What are you doing next? (sorry if I missed a class. :D)

Yes the new owner does appear to be quite an ethusiast and I'm sure it will be looked after well.

I will now be concentrating a lot more on projects around my house, and as for another car, I don't know yet but will be much much cheaper than a Corvette and nothing noteable I'm sure...
