Buying a new car, but I feel absolutely no joy... 😒 Just anxiety, fear, and a sense of betrayal towards my (pre-marriage) car. 11 years with it, so many memories. And I have no emotions other than my husband, who doesn't get it. He says it's falling apart, especially since the new one is fully loaded 🤤. Anyway, it's a weird feeling.

Got it. The previous one was yours alone, and this one will be jointly acquired. And probably with a loan too? In that case, your fears are understandable 🤷🏼️

Alenka Karpova So true, but maybe those feelings are only for the first one 😊

Maybe it's because the gas situation isn't great right now 🤷️, which is why I'm worried. And I'm not talking about the lines, but the quality of the gas that kills the engine of a new car. I also want a new one, but this factor really stops me.

My husband had the same thing happen. He chose an old car with his father, who passed away a year after they bought it. It felt like a memory of him, and we drove it for 13 years, since our first date. But that memory was starting to fall apart. We either had to invest half the cost of a new car into it, or buy a new one. And he also said that it felt like he was betraying it after so many years. But we bought a car that was a class better, and a month later, after he got used to it, he said, 'Yeah, this one is actually way more convenient, why was I resisting?'

I totally get you. You get used to a car, it becomes like a family member. My husband suggested getting a new one in the summer, but I refused. Besides, this one is only 6 years old. And I'm really attached to it, my color, the ergonomics ❤️

A couple of months ago I bought a new car. I drove my old one for 11 years, and the car itself is already 19 years old. I love it, I didn't sell it – it's just sitting under my window for some reason. But the new one is great, I got used to it quickly and don't even want to switch back to the old one anymore.

My husband decided to get me a new car, he's choosing, sending options, and he's so happy about it. But honestly, I don't really care. I'm not feeling any joy or anxiety or anything. I can drive any car, as long as it doesn't break down 😅

It always feels a little sad to let go of the old.

I understand. My husband has a work car, but he can't use it for personal trips or long distances. So, if we go somewhere on weekends or for vacation, we always take mine.
I used to have a Volkswagen Polo, I drove it for 8 years. But now with 3 kids, we don't fit in it anymore. So my husband bought me a 7-seater Palisade to make long trips comfortable. But I have to drive it around town every day.
To say I'm in shock is an understatement. I've been driving it for a couple of weeks, getting used to it. It's a great car, but my first thoughts are also fear and 'why do I even need this?'
