time to say goodbye...

This is just to get this off my chest. I bought my lude 5 years ago, i consider it my only car... my first toy. When i first bought it it had a wings west extensions and a 3 piece mid wing. Boy i loved that car, you know that vtec green, stock vtec rims. It was my first taste of the import scene. I would wash that car 2x a week, i was so happy to have a vtec. But that happiness would be short lived... exactly one month after i bought it i had a near fatal accident. I was on my way to the beach, nice sunny day, I was chillin crusing down a back street(2 lane street, one way west one way east) when coming of a turn a see a van, and another car making a pass in a curve, IN A CURVE, all i know is it was white may be a civic he was headed straight towards me, i down shifted and hit the brakes while swirving out the way, my right tire caught a bit of dirt and gravel and spun out, my car was gliding along helplessly and i was trying not to hit the van and the white car, so my car does a 360 across the street and slams into a pile of rocks and tree trunks, As i came too all i saw was a cloud of dirt, as i look up i see that i nearly missed a telephone poll and a tree. i looked at my car, i was all covered with dirt, the tires on the right side came of the rims, the skirt was across the street and i saw no one in the road, that bastard never stopped, i know it was a white car because there was a white scratch across my left side mirror. Man i felt like crap, every one was ok but not my car. I looked worst than it really was, the insurance covered most of the repair, so i order a whole kit for it shaved the doors, antenna, badges, the works, got 18 inch rims and painted it the car to jet black. I looked very good. I was happy again...Right...1 year later a lady ran a red light and ran into my back axle...What am I a target or something... well she had to pay an i got a new axle...But now the poor thing began to leak oil, and also into my distributor. I have spent countelss nigths fixing up probems here and there. But its been in 2 major accidents, and now my wife wants to get rid of it, At first i said no but i see that is maybe time to put it to sleep. I am joining the airforce so i really won't have time to spend fixing it up. I plan to get rid of it and get another car, maybe a 350z but that little car was fun. Anyone who has spent time and long nights trying to install headers with your friends who get in the way, know what i mean. So thats my dilemma, and i needed to vent, feel free to comment.
