I feel like this is the end of an era for me.
I really have no sentimental attachment to my car, but for me it has represented a small sense of achievement, because it was literally the first thing I ever paid off (still working on the college loans).
I posted the car on craigslist earlier this week, and heard from a guy who wanted to buy the car for his son who was going away to college. After he drove two hours to come and check it out on Friday, we learned that the battery was dead since I had left the overhead light on since Monday. Oops.
After all is said and done, this slideshow is a little tribute to the Escort. The buyer is at the bank right now, and on his way. I can't explain if I am anxious, because in some ways I am selling the car which to me has always been a lifeline. Maybe I am just relieved that I will no longer drive around in circles looking for a parking space in Wrigleyville. The truth is, I just don't know how to say goodbye.

Sorry to hear about your car... I know it was slightly sad when I sold my Neon, and tragically depressive when my bug was sold...

Build a fixed gear bike and be a cool cyclist like Jeremy and me. Cars are overrated any way.
