Vroom...Vroom...Vroom

When I purchased the vehicle I thought it was a watershed moment for me. Things were going great in my life: I was a Deacon in my church, I had a loving wife and two beautiful kids, I had just finished my 3rd year in my new home, we had just paid off one car and with me buying this one with cash that would mean I had two vehicles free and clear, we had just purchased a new SUV, I lived in a great community with friends all around me, GREAT job with excellent salary!

So when Music Man approached me about buying this car from him I weighed all my options and thought why not. So we negotiated a price and he gave me the keys and I worked like a slave on e-bay selling items to pay for the car. This was in the early days of e-bay so competition was scarce and I was able to make quick sales for a nice profit (got burned once for about $800 bucks…LOL).

Fast forward and today is 7/27/09 and Memphis Wifey called me up and asked if we could meet. Of course I said ok and we choose a destination, you see Memphis Wifey doesn’t like coming by my new spot and I can’t argue with that. I really feel uncomfortable with her over at my spot right now anyway.

The topic of our conversation was set from the moment we sat down.

Memphis Wifey – I want you to sell that car!!

Black Hawk – Why (like I didn’t already know the answer to that question)?

Memphis Wifey – Too many bad memories are associated with that car.

Black Hawk – Thinking to myself and not really ready to answer…I just said “I will think about it”….Is that all you wanted to talk about?

Memphis Wifey – Yes

Black Hawk – Ok, well I”ll talk to you later I have some errands to run….Bye

Memphis Wifey – Bye….Your family Love’s you!!

Black Hawk – Love You To…

p.s. – I still do Love her, but is that enough for us to endure…I don’t know?

Later on that evening I sat down and thought about that car and the things that have happened over the years since I got it. More specifically I thought about the different woman that Black Hawk has engaged in extra-marital affairs with during that time. So I got a piece of paper and pen and wrote down the list:

(In order of appearance)

1. Penthouse Pet – yeah the name implies it all…sexy as could be, ghetto fabulous style wise, wanted nice things but didn’t have the drive to go and work for them other then dancing with her clothes off. (No communication)

2. L-Boogie – Young at the time with middle age son, but wanted to experiment with other ladies and Black Hawk just wasn’t feeling it. (Still good friends to this day)

3. Westy – Three kids and couldn’t focus…had issues with parents since she was mixed race (Black/Asian) and adopted…Time Zone difference made it very hard to communicate. (Still talk with each other every now and then)

4. Old School Diva – We were friends from college days and should have just stayed that way…had a possessive ex-husband and two children who needed some discipline in their lives…unusual occupation (mortician…lol)…(No communication)

5. Philly Fanatic – Was ok with her until she went through my wallet…Didn’t know it at time but she wasn’t telling a story and I left her hanging. (Conversation today…but very superficial)

6. Hershey Park – Enjoyed spending time with her, but she had a lot of issues at home with her children (teenagers/young ones). (Still good friends today)

7. Texas-Two-Step - Distance was our issue…if not could have been a keeper! (Very-Very GOOD friends!!)

8. My Darling Clementine– Birthdays are on the same day…too much alike!! Did her very wrong as she really Loved Me!! (Still friends today)

9. MD Crab Cake – Waited years before we hooked up, but she turned out to be a leech! (Erased number from phone and really have no desire to see/talk to her again)

10. Georgia Peach – Friends in college…three children, divorced (dead beat ex), sex was the bomb, but just at different places in life…she was looking for a new husband quick and I couldn’t be that. (She’s married today ironically to a guy named Black Hawk, but we have no conversation).

11. Native American – Thought she was “The One”! (NO CONTACT AT ALL..BROKEN HEARTS ON BOTH SIDES)

By the time I finished I sat there in amazement…see the list didn’t even include what I call my “turnarounds”…ladies I had no emotional tie too just a purely physical thing…tisk…tisk…tisk

Now don’t get this confused I’m not saying that “The car made me do it”…silly of course…but what I am saying is that since I’ve purchased the car there has been a series of negative aspects about me that came along with it. It’s like I placed so much value in an object and not in the things that I should have been placing my values in (GOD, Family, and Friends) that somewhere along the way I lost my moral compass.

So, I have decided that the car must go. Henceforth, I am starting the process of getting rid of the car. Now, I’m not going to be stupid about it though. Someone (a mustang enthusiast) is going to pay top $$ for this vehicle, as I know that it is sought after. As you can see in the photo it has been well taken care of.


I can never get rid of the memories of the times that I have shared with each and every person that I listed above, but I can get rid of the object that brought about those situations. Asking price starting at $10,000 (firm)!! A small price to pay for regaining ones lost soul!!
