Well kids, i suppose its about time to post up whats been going on with me. Long story shorter... I've all but given up on the car scene. It's just that time in my life when i want to move on and explore the other things that life has to offer. With that being said, it was a blast. I met a ton of very cool people, i learned more than i couldve imagined. Be it car knowledge, social knowledge or just overall life lessons... it can be had in the car scene. I have no idea where i'll end up or what i'll be driving but i think i will always be a car guy.

Anyway, onto the latest adventure. The sale....

The car was for sale since november 2008... countless times i heard "you wont sell it" "youre going to regret it" etc.... and now its finally sold. A young man from just south of Albany, NY purchased the car. Yesterday, my buddy Nick and I spent the day driving the car up there and driving back. It was about a 4.5 hour drive one way. We were blessed with some gorgeous weather along with very little traffic. Before I get to the pictures, i just want to say HUGE thanks to Nick for coming thru in a pinch... i had someone else lined up to go with me but at the last minute he bailed on me. Alright alright, ill shut up.

took a few shots while waiting on nick to arrive...





all the parts in the trunk and back seat.



We quickly got fueled up and fed... and got on our way. Nick was cool enough to take some pictures enroute.






After a while we stopped in north bumble****, NY to get some lunch and saw this gem. A properly driven 911 turbo.



Aaaand back on the road...




A couple shots from the hand off...

Ok, i dont have time to type a long, poetic, memorable response but i will say this....

Awesome thread Jon.

Awesome STi (prally the best one ive ever been around)

Great write up about leaving the car game/what youve learned/etc. I wish you nothing but the best bro --- and i have a feeling you will be back in a car of your choice in less time than you think. Just keep your eye on the prize!!


(Nick, your new Avatar is creepy bro - keep the old one!)

 

^^ what my boy Jon said. Killer thread. Laughed my *** off. And, yes, shed a tear for the STi too.

But, anybody that documents DROPPING OFF their car is a Car Guy to the core. Wishing you the very best in where your journey takes you....

but, look forward to seeing you back on the 6 at some future point.

'Cause you got Mobile 1 in your veins, bro.

Peace.

 

I'm going to miss her, it was a fun drive as you can see haha. Many interesting moments and a few near deaths (that woman randomly changing lanes and almost side swiping you-the Fusions brakes are pretty good I must say haha) but an epic journey. No problem, always willing to help a friend out!

No worries Jon, I'm keeping my avatar haha
