I really miss my old astra sxi sometimes, so selling that must of felt horrible
Bet you filled up when its new owner drove away in it, i really feel for you dude I did a kinda three step run and skip when my last car went and i saw it driving away, kind of a natural reaction, had a horrible feeling in my stomach too
