Goodbye Miata


So last Monday, I put the Miata up for sale on ksl.com. I didn't put a sign in it, or post it anywhere else... just there. The car was depressing me... the one constant reminder of my divorce, because it's basically the only thing I got out of the divorce. It made me think of Will everytime I was in it and I couldn't handle it anymore... and I needed some money, so I put it up for sale.

Well, on Saturday, a guy came to look at it, LOVED it, and paid me $3500 in CASH... and not in hundred dollar bills, but TWENTIES, and drove it away. So, now I am car-less, and have to drive my dad's beater truck until I find a car. I don't mind though... now I don't have to think about the Miata anymore.

I took the cash to the bank today, and the teller just laughed her head off when I handed her the stack. As she counted the 175 twenty dollar bills, I asked her if I was the only person she'd seen do this, and she said that she gets people who pay in cash all the time... but normally it's 100 dollar bills... never has she seen 20's.

But oh well... now I am $3500 richer... and that's the last of my marriage. Seriously makes me want to cry.

As far as my 60 days no talking to Will thing... ya I failed. I made it 9 days before he called me. I have mastered the impulse to call him, and I don't call him anymore, but he calls me everytime without fail, and I have definately NOT mastered the impulse to not answer the phone. Why do divorces have to be so hard?????????? I hate it. And most of all, I hate that I still miss him.

  2. Good job on dumping the car. It was cute and you were cute in it, but it was time to move on.
    As for divorces, etc., it will always be hard. There will always be a memory of him in your heart and that's o.k.

  3. I'm glad you got rid of the car and can start moving on! And it is always fun to get a new car! You'll have to let me know when you find one. Are you still looking at a Mazda 3?
