So I got a new 2015 F55 today and my husband is getting my "old" car. Not really old, meaning 2014 Lexus IS 250 with f sport package. I feel like I am betraying her. 😬. At least she will still be in the family. Has anyone else had this issue?

 

At least you'll be able to drive the old car if you miss it. Enjoy your new Mini!

 

You might need to have a renaming of the car since you don't want your husband driving "her". This might settle the issue.

Has anyone else had this issue? Not that I know of, betraying a car? Really?

 

I felt that way when I sold my RX8 a couple of years ago. I loved that car, but it was no longer a good fit for me, so it had to go. Not gonna lie, tears were shed... So yes I know how you feel.

 

Thanks for all the feedback. I agree at least she is still in the family!

 

I tend to get too emotionally attached to my cars. I've had my one car since I was 17 because I can't part ways. I'd garage it before ever selling it, so I know the feeling! A lot of people are able to just move on with no problem, but the way you feel is something I can relate to. At least the car will still be in the family while you enjoy the new little beast.

...I know how hard it is to get rid of anything... I guess that is why I have a garage full of cars and motorcycles and a driveway that is overflowing with cars... they are all Daily Drivers.

Motor on!

 

Guilt is a useless emotion! Enjoy your new traveling companion!

 

You should feel guilty! Making your husband drive such an inferior car is shamefull!

 

Lol! He tells people he got a hand me down......I do love my MINI!

 

I feel this way about my R50. It's been good to me, but it's just not what I need any more. I'm reluctant to sell it though, I know I'll regret it at least a little.

 

Not betrayal...but constant regret, yes. About 15 years ago I moved from California to Manhattan and 'had' to sell my car (I was car-free for about a decade). Ever since I moved out of NYC I wish I had just kept it garaged somewhere.
