two of us
it was just over five years ago when i first met my japanese sweetheart. very attractive, yet not too flashy, she stood there waiting to be taken home. it seemed like we hit it off immediately and from that point on we were inseparable. so many adventures we have taken together. always ready to go to a concert, and willing to put up with my weird friends. late nights driving alone in the moonlight, sunny days driving along the coast. she was always there to keep me warm in the cold winter, cool in the hot summer, and dry during the fiercest of thunderstorms. i too was always around to take care of her when she was sick or just lend an ear and listen when she was feeling down. and so this rock solid relationship and love affair continued for many years until recently things began to change. the bond we shared was no longer as dependable as before. she began to experience problems that i could not understand nor help, and more consistently was no longer around when i needed her the most. she began to notice my eyes wandering too towards a new life. arguments ensued almost daily, and although we tried to work things out, it was clear things would never be the same. although we have made it through both the good times and bad times together, little things in our lives consistently create more aggravation and headaches. my friends say i should move on, but it's hard after spending so much time together. call it loyalty, call it love, call it fear. could it ever be the same or better with another? yes soon i may have to take the leap, it may be time to get a new car, and say goodbye to my dear Honda Accord :(

Moving on is hard; not moving on is unwise. In choosing the two, selling your car and getting a new one will definitely cheer you up to some degree. ;)
I am, too, at the crosswalk between moving on and not moving on. Moving on is painful… Not moving on is suffocating... While choosing my path, I wish you luck in walking out of your shadow...
Hope all heart-broken sweethearts find their new lives and happiness.
It is sad to see her go especially when there has been such neglect. Maybe a little more care on your part, like a fixed signal and a little more finesse when working on her, and there wouldn't have been those daily struggles.... If you were a man of action (and able to follow an instruction manual) she may have given you many more years of pleasure... It is probably best to turn her over to someone who knows how to handle and care for her. Good luck in your quest for a new love, but remember to take care of the new one!
You know cars and life are funny. Sometimes you don't know your in over your head until its too late. I suspect maybe you were in over you head with this car. I have found the best thing to do when your in over you head is to hand it off to someone who knows how to handle it in the drivers seat. Someone who really knows how to push its buttons. Or so to speak. I have driven quite a few cars and might recommend a smaller more compact model for yourself.
Give it some thought.

Maybe you should try something with black exterior, like a large SUV and maybe a stick shift. It may be more to your liking.
Grrr.... I only agree with the first comment. I DO NOT want a large black car with a "stick shift", thank you very much. And as far as my current car, I've taken the best care I could. "Neglect" is a strong word. I change her fluids regularly, and am always a very safe driver! Only I could read the error codes from the ECM unit and impress the doctors with my knowledge. But sometimes they get old and hard to maintain, it is just a matter of time. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, if they don't try too, it is pointless. Car ownership is a two-way street. Yes, maybe I could have fixed the brake light sooner, or done this or that. But live and learn, that's what life is all about. However thanks for your input, this will remind me not to let any of you drive my cars in the future! :P
And to the first poster, good luck to you too. Things will be okay, in time =)
hahahha......this is funny!
