saying goodbye?
If you own a Honda, you just know 🥺
This was my very first car. I was super late getting my license at 18 because I grew up in an unideal situation. My best friends parents took me in and when they take in a child, they really mean it. I never had parents that helped me get in a place I needed to be or help me get out of a situation until I moved in with her family. The very first thing they did was taught me to drive and made sure I got that license and then her dad took me car shopping.
It wasn't a fancy dealership and it was by all mean not a new car. This little Honda came from a family owned used car lot... had 60k miles priced at $7,500 and my bestie's dad got a loan and I paid it off. Did that help my credit at all? No. But I had a car and I was in a safe space and I cannot thank them for how much they helped me become the person I am today.
This little car got me to many places, saw me marry my husband of now 10 years (married for 5 this october), saw the loss of 2 beloved pets and all of the animal puke that came with those heart breaks, took me to numerous new jobs, and went with me through 4 new apartments. And drove me to my childhood beach town 4 hours there and back many times. I love this little car!
Unfortunately, the oil has metal in it so her engine is sick. The only thing I really hated about her was the peeling top coat but inside and out she was perfect!! We could do an engine swap because my husband has built cars but...
This week is my bday so my husband is taking me to the Honda dealership to trade her for a lease that he's helping with!! and I just know I'm gonna cry like a baby. This car is pretty much an attachment of me. I am, however, excited to enter 29 with a new car ??? I've never made such a purchase and with my own credit 🥹 wish me luck!

Saying goodbye to a beloved car is often much more than just a transaction; it's a reflection of the memories created and experiences shared. Cars like the Honda Accord become an integral part of our lives, symbolizing freedom and adventure. They’re witnesses to significant life moments, from road trips and new jobs to the ups and downs of life, as mentioned in my personal journey. For car owners, there’s a deep emotional connection that makes parting difficult. When considering a new car, it's essential to reflect on what features matter most. For instance, Honda vehicles are known for their reliability and fuel efficiency, which is why many choose to stick with them. The Honda Accord, in particular, is appreciated for its spacious interior and strong performance, making it a favorite among families and commuters alike. As you embark on your own car shopping journey, think about the experiences you want to have with your new vehicle. Will it take you on long adventures, or will it provide daily commute comfort? Remember, investing in a car is not just about finding transportation; it's about ensuring it aligns with your lifestyle and carries forward the legacy of joy you had with your previous one. Whether upgrading to a Honda Civic or considering a completely different brand, each choice opens a new chapter in your automotive story.
