Default What happens in CL, stays in CL...

It's a sad day for me just like the cloudy drizzling weather. CL member Kelly400 came in from AZ and drove her away Just felt like lost of a member in the family. She will be missed by the whole family for sure...

Took some pics of her last pull in TX...

definitely glad shes staying in the family, but dang those are sad pics...showing her passing you by and driving off, and in the rain no less

Glad you were able to sell her though, and again, glad she stays in the family.

No no my guess is it was tears . I'd cry too.

Atleast it is staying in fam so I am sure she will be well taken care of here in AZ. Congrats Kelly400 on the purchase.

Wow, not to sound weird or mushy, but you really captured the sense of sadness of the departure of your GS in that series of photos, kinda artistic in a way.

And it always was. I remember when I was waiting for my Dronnell CA-05's to come I used to look at JacobT and ebruceii's pics every night!

I cant believe this car is gone, still such an amazing looker after all these years. Kelly the maintenance bar is set high, ensure you properly keep it going!

Default A sad day!

Jacob, this must really hurt? I don't think I would be able to even see her leave my driveway, let alone passing me by knowing that was my car and I'll never see her again! Good luck with the bimmer, but let us know your still kicking. You were an inspiration and will be missed!



Love that siggy!
