Captains log, Friday, March 11 (one week after XC goes missing):Got up, fed cat, drove to work in girldfriend's Astina.Sitting in office wondering how it got to this point (a younger me would be shaking his head in despair).Need to take urgent action.Situation critical.

Note to self: Do more than just think about putting a kill switch in next car.

You actually love Hondas!When I was a kid (about 9 or so) I told my parents that if they went ahead and bought my autie's Honda Civic then i wouldn't ride in it.And they did, and I didn't, and they sold it.

But each to his own and I'm not hassling, I just didn't know anybody loved them.I thought they were just transport for people who couldn't car less

Of course I might be missing something

I think its time to let go. No one likes a car/bike being flogged but in the end its just a car for gods sake. Ive been down the same track as you but I think a bit of perspective is needed now. And out of interest apart from transport what else does your old falcon offer you! not hassling just asking.

Every time I see this come to the top I check it in the hope that your Car has turned up ok. Gunhand, I've been lucky enough to never have had a car stolen, but I know that the ones that I put time and effort in have sentimental value, more so than a standard 'daily driver'.If my daily driver got stolen I wouldn't want it back, and could just go out and buy something almost exactly the same quite easily.Modern cars just don't have the same personality and feel that older ones do. (admittedly I like a lot of modern car features such as Air Con, Good brakes, electric windows, generally more comfortable - the list goes on - but to me they don't have the same feel to them).
** good luck finding the Falcon - I hope it shows up **
I don't have an old car anymore, and I do miss the 'fun' factor a bit, but not the 'will it still be there when I get back' part of it.I don't have to worry about my daily driver much in that respect ;-)

i know my old mate suburbanite100 well, and this plus your comments and question tell me that the old adage "the fact that you need it explained to you means that you're not gonna understand" is true and very appropriate in this case.
