I have you beat. In the 7 1/2 years I owned that car, I barely drove it 50 miles, and I live over 30 miles from where I bought it. But the week after I bought it, I lost my job and my wife asked for a divorce, so I had to cut my expenses, and basically never got into the habit of using the car.

But I was happy that even after such a long time being still, the car fired up, and drove out of my life rather than becoming an automobile shaped object. It was time to let it go on. I'm not the same person I was when I bought it. Still, its the loss of dreams that I had then. Ideas of using it to carry my bike to great places to ride and happy times, and I had always loved that body style, so I really wanted to make it nice. But I could never get myself to spend the money and time.

Found myself singing "Car-free" to the tune of "Born Free" as I rode my bike around doing errands getting ready to lead all the bicycles in tomorrows Big Jingle Jubilee Holiday Parade.
