When I left for Korea, I still owned a 323i Sport Sedan. I loved that car. Still do. I kept it for the six months I was in Korea, but when I moved to Japan, I figured it would be too difficult to maintain from 7000 miles away, and shipping it to Japan and keeping it within regulations (called shaken) was too cumbersome and too expensive. So, with a heavy heart, I said goodbye.
I have resolved one day to buy one just like it, when I'm not so flighty, and my career post-MA is settled. The PE teacher I work with in Fukuchiyama owns my car's twin, in silver. I was the only coworker allowed to drive it around town. That made the the sting hurt a little bit less...
Loss of a BMW... #preppyproblems
I have what I like to call a Baby Benz and there is a possibility my husband and I will be moving overseas in the not so distant future. The idea of giving up my extremely preppy but beloved car makes me rather sad---- fortunately my parents said they may buy it from me. So at least it will stay in the family!
ReplyDeletePS--- there will be at least one beach photo on Saturday! :)
LOL, cuuuute post! Preppy problems indeed and while I've never owned a car I can totally see how one could get emotionally attached and have seen it!
ReplyDeleteMy bimmer was in the shop for a week and it was hard enough not driving it for that long. I had a Nissan Versa as a loaner - no comparison at all!
ReplyDeleteHaha. So funny. I'm the same way, though. I get very attached to cars. I even had a hard time getting a new iPhone because I felt like I was cheating on the old one.

I do like the looks of those 3-Series sedans, at least the ones from three or four years ago and before. I can certainly understand the separation anxiety!
