the most difficult thing I've ever done

| This was my truck:
My dad bought it new in 1978. I remember the family taking trips to the beach in it every year, with our lab in the back, drooling on the hot vinyl seats. It was our hunting truck too, my dad would drive to and from our hunting property while I would lay out across the rest of that wide bench seat, asleep. Eventually, it was the first vehicle I ever drove. All my highschool friends loved it, I can't even count the number of people we'd pile in the back at one time. I'd drive it 45 minutes to and from work every day, through downtown Richmond, without a hiccup. When I left for college, the Bronco stayed behind. It wasn't until my third year of college that my dad moved to a new house, and suggested that I keep the Bronco up at school. I was ecstatic. I drove it all over SW Virginia... I was constantly off-roading, or taking spontaneous long drives through the hills. It was great. Haha, I'll never forget the time a girl I worked with asked if she could borrow it for a date, because her boyfriend had a Chevy Lumina that just wasn't cool enough. I'm convinced that the Bronco helped me win over my current girlfriend, too. That, and my cowboy hat. Anyways, towards the end of my college career, the Bronco started having problems. First one thing, then another, and then piles of things started to go wrong with the truck. No problem, I'm good at fixing trucks. Eventually the Bronco reached a point where I was scared to drive it, because I knew something would break. Fixing the problems was always easy, I just don't have the time for an expensive toy anymore. So... I sold it today. For $1,700. I have to put the money into savings, I can spend it... because nothing I could buy could replace the enjoyment I got from my Bronco.

It always sucks when you loose a car, that has so much value (not money wise)

I feel your pain, man. It's always a big deal, losing a member of the family.
