Bittersweet Goodbye


I remember the first day I drove my Altis out of the Toyota Cubao showroom last October 2003. I distinctly remember the feel of the steering wheel on my hand, the touch of the leather car seats and the new car smell that is as sweet as a baby's bottom (well, I will know that first hand next February :P).

It felt like the advert of PS Bank Autoloan, where the car buyer was in a waiting room, nervous like an expectant father while he waits for word if "Britney" is ready to be driven.

So it is bittersweet that I sold my dear "Tish". Tish is the first car I have bought and it will always have a special place in my heart even if I drive a Porsche or Ferrari in five years time (Yeah, Mark, dream on!).
