Sad day today (1/7/21), I lost my Mirage...
Well about 2:20 eastern time my oldest son crashed his 2005 G35 (6-speed). Helluva car. It was his fault too. He's perfectly fine. If anybody had been in the passenger seat they would have been seriously injured or kilt. So I thank God for those 2 blessings (no one in the passenger seat and he wasn't hurt).
But, due to losing his car, he's going to have to have something to drive. He heads back to his college this coming Sunday night. My Warden is now driving a 2009 Matrix (auto-turd). I figured she'd want to drive the Blueberry since it is a 2020 and she likes to drive a manual. But she said she doesn't want to drive a blue car (that's just silly, blue is the perdiest, what's wrong with wimmins?).
So, I guess my son will take little Blueberry to college. He sure as $h1t ain't driving my Lexus LS 460L, or my big ole Dodge truck ... or my Plymouth Scamp. Sort of a sad day, since I'm losing the Mirage after such a short love affair. He will appreciate the car but will miss the additional 220 hp he had over and above the Mirage's power.
He's mentally distraught at the moment. Which I'm glad to know he cares ... but it hurts me too. He's angry at himself for ruining a $7,500 car, and sad because he loved his G35. Twas a helluva car.
In the mean time, I'm going to figure out what to do. How far fetched is it that it could be fixed? Should I repair or replace it? Should I just let him take over the Blueberry? I really don't know how this is going to play out, and don't like not knowing. And another kicker is, about 2 weeks ago I bought a 2007 G35 6-speed (red) for my middle son. So now my oldest son is going to crank up a puny little Blueberry, and see his brother's hot red G35 leaving the house. That's torturous. Oh well. Life is ups and downs. Would be boring if it weren't that way.
Call me stupid, throw out your input (what would you do), spin this thread off into a zillion other directions ... I'm fine with anything. Just wanted to vent.
