It is almost 9 months since I sold this Suzuki Vitara that I owned for 12 years. It was a good car that served me well in Chicago. The 4 wheel drive option was a great feature when there was snow or rain. It had gotten me out of many snow banks without having to shovel. When the weather was dry, it can be a rear wheel drive and saved me some gas. Although the MPG was like only about 20, it was not a gas guzzler. The SUV look made me appear "sporty". The back seats was foldable which added space for transporting bigger items. I did love this car but driving it to LA from Chicago was just not a wise option. Although it was a well maintained vehicle, the fact that it was 12 years old was just asking for trouble for a long distance drive. Also I had to pay an exorbitant amount to register it for CA. Plus I was not sure if it would pass the stringent emission standards of CA. So I sold it. As I looked at my old photos tonight, I came across my old Vitara named Vesta Dorota Silverskaya. I felt a little forklempt over it. I missed it. I hope it is doing well at the hands of the guy I sold it to.
