"Don't know what ya got 'til it's gone"

So my car was keyed in a local grocery store parking lot a few weeks ago (haters). I have her being repaired and in the mean time, I am in a rent a car for 3 days. Insurance is covering it all as comprehensive, so its all good.

Don't get me wrong, I knew I loved driving the car; I just didn't realize how much until I got behind the wheel the Cruze that Hertz is letting me use. I need my car back now!

sorry to hear. i cant understand what drives a person to key a car. stealing a car i dont agree with but i see why they would do it. a person sees your car, decides they hate you for some made up reason, they key your car and their life is no better for it...

I know how you feel about loving the car though, everytime i drive our company truck i can't wait to get back in my car

I caved and bought mine off the lot a couple weeks ago. I've driven it from the dealership home and that's it. It's all nice and warm in the garage until spring. The anticipation is just awful.

You have an impressive amount of discipline. As soon as I got mine it was as much as possible.

I've been in a loaner silver Corolla for a week now. I have no idea how anyone willingly drives one of these things. It's beyond boring. It makes golf and watching paint dry seem exciting.

I want my car back.
