gone baby gone

this weekend, i parted with my beloved jetta. after 5 years of quality time with her, i decided to put her up for sale. i tried my best to convince my family to keep her, but they just don't need an extra car. i was once worried that where she would go to next? please at least be someone i know so that i can check up on her once in a while. luckily, she landed into my friend's home. i hope my friend will cherish her as much as i did.

i still remember 5 years ago, when i decided to make my first car purchase, i knew exactly that i wanted to get a VW. at that time, i was a little torn between the jetta and the new beetle. the jetta was the perfect size for me, and i loved the design at the time (i don't really care for the current design so much). on the other hand, the new beetle was cute. all girls like cute stuff! so i went to the dealer to check them out and test drove them. my heart knew immediately that it would be the jetta. it's just more practical and comfortable, and i knew i would get tired of the new beetle if i just got it for the looks.

my jetta was just meant to be. she came with the color and all the features that i was looking for! although she's no luxury car, i felt proud driving her around and loved to take her to places. anyone who's rode in her knew that i kept her in a very good condition. to be honest, i didn't want to sell her if i didn't have to! i truly hope that she'll be loved and taken care of in her new home. farewell!
