A year ago from today's date marks the day that my beloved gray 2007 Honda Civic EX with Navigation was repossessed. I really miss her. Lisa was her name and when I would get lost, she would always be there to guide me safely back home. She was repossessed by Capital One because I couldn't afford to keep up with the payments. I first bought Lisa at the end of August of 2008. I paid about $23K for her and to be honest, I probably could've gotten a better deal for her. I wish I would have known that then but regardless, I was so happy to own my first brand new car. She was my biggest purchase to date. To make a long story short, I started falling behind on my payments starting in August of 2010. And you already know why.
Rewind to January 23, 2010. I would say it was early afternoon and I planned on leaving to go to the barber shop and get my hair cut. Well, I opened the front door to step outside and I noticed that my car wasn't in the driveway. Surprised, I stepped back in the house and I then asked Kenny where he had parked the car being as though he drove it the prior day. He said that he had parked it right outside. Right then I basically knew the inevitable. I then called Capital One and was hit with the bad news. In my mind, I knew that day was coming. I just wasn't expecting it on that day.
Poor Lisa. I'm so sorry I put you through all of this. I still carry your key on my keychain. I just hope you're in good hands. I probably won't ever be able to afford a spankin' brand new car for years to come. Anyhoo, I miss you Lisa.
