So I was very sad when my Fabia went to auction,

Even though I now have a much better car, I was really attatched to the old girl, because it was my first car.

I was looking on the net today, and there she was, bold as brass sitting in a dealer near to me for

I'm attached to it in as far as I enjoy driving it and I would get annoyed/frustrated if it got damaged, but I'm not obsessive and out cleaning/polishing it every night.

I'd happily trade in it tomorrow though - life's too short to stick with the same car for too long

I know someone who will risk everything (including where they live, their credit rating, their job, their future etc.) to keep their beloved car

And its not even a very nice one !

Attached, who me?

No it's just a good focus for my compulsive-obsessive modding personality!

my sig says it all:rofl:

Yep. I was rather miffed today as my car was borrowed, and the first thing done with it was so smack and scrape the front bumper on raised kerbs taking it off the drive......even though a sane logical person would have aimed for the dip, this person just drove straight back......I cringed.

I was attached to my 306. I nearly cried when i wrote it off. See my avatar.

I tend to weigh up cars in terms of reliability value for money etc rather than emotionally. No car has any sort of emotional attachment that would make me want to hang on to a car that was causing trouble or costing too much money or was past usefullness. I had no problems seeing my old felicia dissapear on the back of a trailer - despite it being the car I led my class in the BTRDA in. It was surplus to requirements and depreciating.

My only concern if a car gets damaged is the costs involved, nothing emotional there.

I might "like" a car but thats assessing how well it does its job value for money performance etc, its a evaluation rather than an emotional attachement and am more than happy to sell even a car I "like" down the river if my needs or situation changes.

I was gutted about my 306 being written off, and really upset about the octy being written off.

I think they are just cars, but when something bad happens it certainly gets to me :(

yes, I am very sad I know, but it cost a lot of money and I know its just metal, but I was really pi**ed when some idiot crashed into back of me and it had to go away for 2 weeks:D

annoyed if damage is done, enjoy cleaning it when I do (every 2 weeks), love driving it, not sure if any car is worth the money you pay for them

so yes a bit, but would get rid if needed the money elsewhere

Totally besotted and clean it every week, sometimes more. It needs a good scrub inside at the moment. The seats are filthy

cleaned mine today, lovely and sparkling (for now)

I was attached to Velma and remain so as I know her new owners :( As for my vrs, not really in the same way but I would need restraining if somebody damaged it.

I'd go mad if anyone damaged it...

Completely and utterly attached to my car........not my Skoda, the one in my avatar!

I'm gonna have to sell it in the spring after 10 years of ownership. I just don't drive it enough these days and hate to see it sat outside my house deteriorating. Someone out there will be able to give it a good home.

I'll be absolutely gutted when it goes.....

I am far too attached to my car but I can't help it!

Then again I did bring it 12,000 miles across the sea!

Not the Fabia , no. The last car I had any sort of feeling for was my 1987 Capri 280 Brooklands Limited Edition , that is the one car I wish I had never sold.

Funnily enough I

Definately - I was pretty gutted when I scraped the front bumper last weekend :( .

I really hope nobody ever crashes into me though as I think physical violence would probably happen before the tears and common sense kicked in .

Plus this is like the type of car I've been after for years (e.g. fast!) but couldn't afford due to various reasons till now. (Not least being having to pay for an uninsured accident when I was a youngun' :thumbdwn: )

Yes! He's my baby - and that's high praise cos I don't have a maternal instinct lol I've even named my cars.

I miss my 2 previous Skodas too! When I see dad's old Skodas running round Carlisle, I always shout "ooooh look! There's ......." (I named them all too)

Am I attached to my car? - Well let me f***in' think for a bit.....

Of course I damn well am! I wouldn't say I'd cry if she came to some harm - she's a high mileage car and stuff happens, but I look after her well, and she returns my love with :D inducing performance.

I like it. I like the Subaru and Type-R baiting performance,= combined with practicality, comfort and relatively low running costs and It would be a shame to see it go, but it is only a lump of metal (-even if it is a Czech Audi )

If I could afford a MkII I'd be straight out to get one followed by a trip to Awesome... 4x4 would be handy though, maybe a Mazda 6 MPS instead?

keep the 5uck away from my car or i'll brake your 5ucking knee caps.

yes i'm attached to my car, cant you tell.
