Wow, Sharon, I'm so sorry to hear of your lost passion for your adorable car. I can understand your frustration with the keyed exterior and the pain of having to go through the repair process. I do hope that you can get some of that "loving" feeling back before you turn "her" in.
As one of a few women who post on here, I will miss you. I still love my car as much as the day I drove it off the lot. I've enjoyed it every day I sit behind the wheel and hope that's the case for years to come.
Sometimes, however, all good things come to an end...and if you're ready to move on in a year or so, i wish you the best.
My car is in need of a car wash since it rained today, but I don't get stressed about it. It doesn't take that long to do a quick car wash...at least how I do it and the car looks great.
I wish you the best...
