This week I waved goodbye to my beautiful BMW X3. I remember when I bought this car ... I'd been talking about getting a new ride for almost 10 months, if not longer. The search took so long because I could never quite make up my mind about what I wanted. My yearnings ranged from a Chevy Avalanche, to a Toyota FJ Cruiser, to the Infiniti FX350 etc
It still amuses me that, after months of pondering different options, this baby was spotted in the wanted ads on a Friday (thanks B J) and it was mine by the next week.
Plus, it came with a very persuasive price tag ... thanks, Euge J
Soon after the title changed hands, I realized that our love affair would be fleeting. I was sitting in George Town traffic, tapping away to the beat on the radio, when it fully dawned that I really was going to head out on my travels this year.
So, the deed is done. We've had 6 wonderful months together … the physical separation has occurred, now it’s time to sever the emotional attachment L Oh, BMW, our tryst was short but sweet, and you will be fondly remembered. I am sad to see you go, but my account is happy with the farewell lol.
So, it’s back to trusty old Pajero ... my first love!! It is sunburned, has age-spots, it rattles, it’s slow to accelerate, drives like a go-kart, it has 'interesting internal features' (aka holes in the upholstery lol) that give it a certain charm and strength of character, it's lost some of its bits randomly … it’s all of that, but it’s also the car that just keeps on going and going and going ...
