Our beautiful driveway!
It's taken an age but, at long last, we've sold the Ford Focus. It used to be gamble's primary vehicle until he moved up to a Subaru Legacy 2.5GT spec.B about a year ago. We'd planned to sell the Focus privately soon afterward, and we did a fair bit of prep work to make it happen, but life became busy again for both of us and the Focus remained in our driveway, forgotten. If you squint, we're convinced that you can just make out its dark blotch on Google Earth.
The irony of procrastination is that, while one's objective in delaying is to avoid extra work and stress, worry about not doing the work eventually becomes more stressful than the work itself. And so, when I finally got a couple of weeks off, I promised gamble to give the car some love and get it ready for sale. We priced it to beat the competition, and got the result we were after: a deposit from an interested buyer within a couple of days. Yay, craigslist!
gamble finished the deal today, and we can officially stop worrying about it. Best of all, the driveway is no longer an obstacle course!
