Swore to yourself you would never sell it, loved it, drove it, lost your --- in it, then a short time later had to sell it due to xx (insert reason here). Killed you seeing it driven away.
Hopefully you saw the article in recent days about the gentleman who walked upwards of 21 miles a day to get to and from work because his car broke down and he couldn't afford to replace it. For employment that paid him $10.55 per hour.
Sorry, "then a short time later had to sell it due to xx (insert reason here)" doesn't fly. Where there is a will, there is a way(see prior paragraph). Letting it go is the easy way out. Hunting it down years later hoping to get it back underscores that.
