It's a sad choice but all good things must come to an end. I got plenty of memories to last a lifetime from the positive ( Doing the nasty) to the regretful (driving while influenced <not smart> 
, but otherwise lucky i never got caught) The dealership wanted to give me $500usd for her but my friend needed a car more so i sold it to him for $600usd instead. I had a feeling the dealership wouldn't have given her a last send off. Plus my friend lives down the street from me! My new love is a 2008 mazda 3i touring value 
which i purchased for $9970 (high mileage of 84k) but the only one i found that i liked under 10k. She is very pretty with a black interior and grey exterior. I want to thank everyone who supported my when i had issues with my car and will continue to advise (what little i can) to this site for future mxer's. Viva La MX-3!!!
good luck and don't be a stranger.
