Unhappy Sold my GS on Friday

The first person to actually come see it bought it.
I left my ezpass transponder in it, so he drove by on Saturday to drop it off.

In thirteen years, I can count on one hand the number of times I saw the car being driven from the outside.
As he drove away, I was struck by how lovely cinnabar pearl is after all these years and miles, how the chrome wheels are complemented by the silver painted calipers.

It hurt a little to watch it roll away for the last time...such a funny thing to love a car.

It is some comfort that a newer GS is being shipped to me and will arrive in some days.

Nice pick up. Looks to be the exact color combo as the 2GS. She'll give you much better memories. Let's see if you can make these gs350's in the 200k+ mile club. That be awesome. Good luck.

That colour is gorgeous... In New Zealand I've never seen one, we only have dark green, deep blue, white and silver. Wish I could get a cinnabar pearl here. Glad to see you've stuck with the red :P New car looks awesome as well btw
