Cry Like A Baby I saw my GT today.

As many may know I sold my GT last month to pay off a bit of my mortage. I was a bit frightened about rising interest rates here in Ireland. I actually paid off the remainder of the mortage today so now instead of two mortages I have only one.

But in what must be a strange twist of fate as I was driving to the bank (in my Caddy van ) to make the final payment I saw my GT. It was bought by a local 22 year old guy.

How graceful and beautiful it looked on the road. So purposeful and squat. It was resplendent in its Lipari Grey paint. I almost wanted to stop him and ask for it back. I knew I would miss it but I never thought I would miss it so much.

Re: I saw my GT today.

AG - how come you had two mortgages? That implies that you had two houses. My philospohy is that you can never have too many cars, but you only need one house
