SO SAD.....................................

[heliochrome85]

Mark your calendars boys and girls. Today is a day to remember. After 15 months of love and devotion, it seems that my relationship with the love of my life, Lola, might be coming to an end. I have placed her up for sale. I will be leaving the country for two years and it doesnt make sense for her to sit in a garage, unloved while I am gone. It is a sad day indeed. If she does sell, I hope she goes to a good home. If any of you are interested in the slightest, please dont hesistate to ask me. She has only gone 18,000 miles and has a second set of tires and wheels for the winter. Upon my return, I suspect my finances and local wont allow me to return to her. Who knows. In any case. Its a sad day indeed.

She can be found...http://www.cars.com/go/search/...=true

Sadly in the current market Lola is only worth 22 - 24k..

I hope you can get your asking price.. I really do.

Why are you leaving for 2 years... Will you have internet access?

[heliochrome85]

id sell for 26 prolly. the car has lojack and a set of snows and rims worth over 1k. there isnt a similar car in the area even without those options. who knows.

[heliochrome85]

med school. yeah, i should. even if she sells, i will be a lurker here. dont you worry. someone has to extol the benefits of autotragic in the face of such fierce 6mt sponsorship.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Why are you leaving the country for that?? Is it cheaper?

[heliochrome85]

just happens to be where i got in. I was in a position where if i reapplied to the US, id have to retake the MCAT and get all new letters. Thats a lengthy process in addition to the year application cycle. So if i did all that, id start in two years, IF i got in. this way, im gone for 20 months then back in the US for rotations. in 4 years, im an MD just as much as the guy doing it here. Is it cheaper? no. Is it faster? No. Is it what I want? No. It is what it is and you just have to roll with it. Who knows what this will bring?

[Raylo]

Helio, sorry to hear about Lola. Would have never thought it could happen.

Whats next...................... Jacko revealing his secret track..

Telecom using premium fuel...

President Obama....

Say what, say what. Anything can happen.

[smockers83]

Noo. You were supposed to come up to the D. Sad to hear that you're selling Lola, but I'm sure she'll end up in a good home--a nice warm garage with lots of soapy water and wax.

You better still be a lurker around these here parts.

[Bigjoe347]

DONT FREAKING DO IT

[heliochrome85]

she aint gone yet, and i can still come up to the big D. Actually, unless she sells very soon, I should be able to come before I leave for St. Maarten. If I do, Ill let you know. Zingermans sounds good.

[smockers83]

Hopefully you can wait until mine gets a new front end at the least. It needs some pampering. Then we can take pics on Detroit St. in Ann Arbor right outside of Zingerman's on the brick road. That would be a sweet shot.

You should just lease it for 2 years and reclaim it when you get back. Just a thought.

[Beancooker]

So what country are you heading to?

[audtatious]

Give Lola a vacation and come down to Nashville for the NICOfest event. Andy is driving down from Indy on Friday and meeting me for the trip down.

[heliochrome85]

we'll see. I honestly, dont know if I can because I have a graduate thesis due on the 28th. If I can get enough done on it, i may just join you.

[BrandAidDesignG35]

I thought Lola may have been crashed when I read the subject, so I suppose parting with it would be better right?

Just save some dough for a new one when you return

[zozoka1212]

You can't just leave us autotragic guys here. STAY. Sell Lola is sad but smart.

[Jacko3]

This is a sad day indeed. I weep with you my friend. I can't bear to read this any more.

[Jacko3]

May just happen!

[Jacko3]

What about handing it to one of the guys to help you warm it up and drive it around occassionally until you get back? I don't have a problem doing that on your behalf, so long as you pay your insurance and registration for the car. I am in the southeast. I can give Lola as much love as you want.

[rn79870]

It's bitter sweet Tariq, selling your car and moving, but your future is worth it. You and I have had some great discussions in another forum and I've developed a new appreciation for other parts of the world due to you. I hope you don't forget about us.

How is Lola taking the news?

[G_whizz]

Oh man Tariq...sooo sorry to hear about this!!

What country are you headed to?

Canada?

Listen bro, you'll be laughing at all of us...if you're going to be an MD...you'll have a GTR in no time!!

BTW...you better keep coming here to chat with us....NICO is family first!

[joe603]

Sorry to hear about your decision...but, I'm sure you'll come back with a shiny new G37 Good luck, and don't be a stranger!

[TeflonG35]

Best of luck for whatever happens.

[telcoman]

Telecom using premium fuel...

President Obama....

Say what, say what. Anything can happen.

[Slider4105]

All I can say is /tear. At least you have some good memories and can get yourself a new Lola upon your return.

[heliochrome85]

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

McCane is going to really help this county with the war... and I hope everyone takes note of the experience that he has Vs 170 days of exp that obama has..
