Default A bittersweet day...

After eleven years of owning a 90 with tons of memories and a Funfest Celebraty Choice Award three years ago I traded her in yesterday before I went to work. Despite having a recent idle issue I just couldn't shake she was a great cruiser. Good news is that I traded her for the Corvette I have been looking for and pick her up on Monday. Stay tuned!

Gone but not forgotten

Same story here, after owning this 96 polo green roadster for 18 years it went to a new owner about 2 weeks ago, good news is the new owner has been after me to sell him the car for 10-12 years and it stayed local so I will get to see it, the trade off, this 94 polo green zr1 now sits in my garage

It's going to be hard to beat the one you had.
Make sure you post pics of your new "secret" car.

I really liked your '90.

Can't wait to see what your new one is.

From a couple years ago.
