Reply to "Penny is on BaT!"

I'll be around, guys. Just in a different vehicle.

The whole story is as follows: Yes, the knee is a problem. I could have surgery to replace said knee but I'm not ready for that. Penny and I have had some great times together. It was always a thrill to get in her and turn the key...until it wasn't. I really don't know why but I got in her one day and it just didn't feel right anymore. Maybe it's because I'm now retired and have so many other things to occupy my time. Maybe it's because I've owned this car far longer than any other vehicle. All I know is that it's been a great ride. Over the last 16 + years and 64,000 miles Penny and I have discovered wonderful places, roads simply too perfect for words, many interesting people, some that will be friends for life.

I know one thing for sure, whoever ends up with her is going to get one helluva bitchin' automobile. She out performs the MX-5 in almost all categories except for braking. Of course, I haven't started with the modifications on the Mazda...

I'll be around. I'm not going anywhere. I'll continue to participate in the organized events and I'm still up for any drives around my neck of the woods where we have the best roads.

I'm not sure how I'll feel if someone from here buys Penny. Kinda like having your old girlfriend hook up with your buddy and you still kinda like her. But if someone here is lucky enough to get her, fair warning; treat her right or I'll kick your ass.
