MaySOLDMay 16, 2005 at 3:50 pm AST by Rodney MacLeod
Well I just sold the first car I owned. A 94 blue Hyundai Excel. I drove that car for about nine years. It was kind of sad watching someone else drive away in my old car. I remember backing over a rebar and putting a hole in my bumper, Kent hanging out the trunk to take a picture of the under side of the car while I drove down the highway, many road trips to Fredericton, flat tires, dead batteries, leaking oil, frozen locks.
What can I say about my car? I drove it. That’s about it. There was nothing too exciting about it. It never won any races. It never saved any lives. It got me where I wanted to go (most of the time), and that’s good enough for me.
I may miss it a little, but not to much. I now drive a 2005 Mazda 3.

And who are the crazy people?

I remember you backing over the rebar too. I also remember the picture of your car you posted too. I think if you would have left the tape on your car it would have sold for double. Remeber the homemade license plate you made. I think its the one in the picture too.If Dennis is reading this, remember the gum I put on your car? Was it still there when you sold it? Man I rock!
