Sold my car!

[Assa1974]

I bought my RX400H last March and after a short 15 months I've now sold it. For the first time since in 25 years of driving I do not currently own a car and it's a bit scary right now.

Anyway I wanted to give my short-lived but exceptional companion a quick eulogy. It was by far and away the best car I've ever owned or had the privelage to drive. Completely reliable, comfortable, quiet, quick when required and totally capable in every way. However, the one thing I have noticed as the whirlwind sale took place over the last 24 hours is that I've come to realise I did't have the same personal connection with it that I have had with other cars I've owned. Technically it's utterly brilliant, no doubt, but I never found it's personality. Was it simply too good? I think perhaps the lesson I've learned is that the cars I've loved the most in my past have not been the ones that ticked all the boxes. They weren't the most practicle or economical or reliable (far from it thinking about my Alfa). Something for me to ponder as I search for my next car.

That said, I can't argue with getting back exaclty what I paid! I suspect I'll file Lexus Ownership under 'unfinished business'.
