Amidst the great news of Seth getting engaged and Josh getting new wheels, I am sad to report that my Boxster will be gone very soon. I hadn't even advertised it for sale but a friend of mine works with a guy who I also know was looking for a used Boxster so mine was suggested. He finally came over and looked at the car and after a test drive, said "I'll take it". He's paying asking price which I selected as a fair price rather than inflating it for bargaining down purposes. I felt this sudden sense of sadness when he said that. I told him to rev it past 3500 rpm and listen to the sweet notes; music to me ears. After riding around in it during the test drive, I had kind of forgotten how much fun that car is.

That is also a reason I am selling it. I just haven't been driving it very much. It has sat in my garage for months without getting any attention. There was a fine layer of dust on it. I felt better after telling the fianceé that it was sold and that I was sad. She said she was a little sad too but we will have other cars. She did offer that I not build a swimming pool and keep the car. When I instantly said that I want the pool more than the car I realized I'm really okay with the decision. My thoughts then turned to what to buy down the road to replace it. Her suggestion for a convertible was a Mini Cooper S convertible. That's one of the reasons I love her. She's very understanding of my obsession and need for a nice ride.

Another weird feeling I got was that since the buyer is a guy I work with on occasion that I would feel bad if there was something wrong with the car. I honestly know of no problems with it and it has been cared for by me. No major oil leaks or coolant leaks that are all too common in Boxsters. It's just something I worry about needlessly.

The car will be gone by the end of next week and possibly as early as Saturday.
