13 Days and Counting

Yesterday was the official two week mark before I leave for Germany.

In the past week I have read, taken care of some administrative matters, gotten a CarMax quote for my car, and sold the car for almost three times what they were going to offer me. Basically, if you want to sell a car and get actual money for it, sell it yourself. If you want to get lowballed on a trade in, then take it to a dealership. Who knew?

So tomorrow I will be officially car-free. It's a little sad, since this was the first new car I have ever owned. It had 12 miles on it when I bought it and 5 of those were from my test drive. I will miss her, but she is going to a good home and will make someone else happy for as long as she drives.
