Mourn with me
Today represents the end of an era. This evening I will hand over the keys to my car to a college kid in New Braunfels. Now, my car isn't worth much. It is a 1995 Mazda MX-6 LS V6 with leather interior and all the options. But, she is mine and I will miss her.
I've had the car about 3 years and I have put more sweat and blood into this car than any other. It is by no means American muscle, but it is kind of sporty and it suits me well. Last week I finally reached the decision it would be best to sell her.
When we get to Jackson, I'll have the wonderful opportunity to take Isaac to school each morning since his preschool is at the church building. I'm really looking forward to having that time with him. Ethan's turn will soon follow. Since I'll be transporting kids more often, I thought it would be best to get something with 4 doors and something that has a real back seat. My car has a back seat but it has about 0.125 inches of leg room back there. It's basically a two seater.
So I have held on as long as possible. My days of cruising in my little leather two seater sports car with the sunroof open and the CD player blasting are over. I am moving on to something more parental. I'll be glad to get something that will be better for the family, but still.....I'll miss my little MX-6.

Congratulations on being a mature adult and doing the right thing. I had to give up my little red mustang for a mommy mobile a few years ago! Just imagine what the technology will be like when you get to your middle age crisis and want to buy a new sports car! Maybe there will be hover cars by then!!!!! Also, this new kid will enjoy looking cool in your car and HE will deal with all the problems of a 10 yr old car!
