the one that got away
It’s weird how I can get so attached to something that I’ve never seen before. But from the moment I read the ads and spoke to the owner, I knew that this car is perfect. It’s in our price range, low mileage, earns great reviews on edmunds, and get this… was his dream car when he was a teenager. We were so excited about it, I already wrote a check for the full amount, set up appointment with a mechanic to look at it, and I even prepared the contract / bill of sale. That’s how sure I was that this is the car…
Alas, fifteen minutes before we were supposed to see the car, the owner emailed me and told me someone else had beaten us to the chase. She really wanted to show it to us, but she also wanted it sold and she wasn’t the type to get us to do a bidding war.
And now I’m just brokenhearted and am unable to think about another car. Everything else pales in comparison to this baby, which I have never seen. Maybe that’s why it looks so good in my head, because I never had the chance to see all its blemishes, rust and dents. Fantasy is always better than reality, right?
Oh well…
