I Can't Do It

ALkuHOLIC with Roxy

I said that I put my car up for sale because I wanted a more "mature" car.  I can't do it.  I just can't bring myself to sell Roxy.  I posted ads in November, and there have been inquiries.  Lots of them, but only over the phone.  I tell them the truth - really nothing to fix, except for the fuel gauge and maybe a new paint job.  But in otherwise perfect condition.  No one was coming over to look.  Then one day my brother asked me "how come you're not putting a FOR SALE sign on your car?"  And that's when it hit me.  I can't.  I just can't.  I love Roxy too much.  She and I are one, really.  Partners in crime, through thick and thin. 



I had my sights set on a 1990 BMW 520 that's been fully restored to perfect working condition by the seller.  I've been in the car, examined it, and it's beautiful. Truly.  I could see myself driving that car everyday, in and around the metro and even out of town.  But the problem is, I can see myself in Roxy too.  And I can't see myself WITHOUT her.  :(  She's my baby car.  Not once has Roxy let me down.  Not once has she needed any major repairs.  Airconditioning is still perfect.  Electricals are A-ok.  The engine, oh the engine!  At 1400cc, it has the perfect balance of fuel economy and power.  It actually has more power than some 1600cc cars.  Just a few nights ago, my friend who was riding shotgun remarked "This isn't a 1.4!"  What he meant was that Roxy was way too powerful for a 1400cc engined car.  That comment made me very very proud.  I've looked after her for the past 11 years, and she's looked after me.  And I want to look after her for the next 11 years and more.  I was ready to sell her, but really... I can't do it.
