The car I bought brand new on Joel's 5th birthday is no longer in my driveway. For almost 19 years that car has been with me.
I sold it to one of Mackenzies classmates for use as a winter beater.
277,075 miles in total
7900 gallons of gas for a total of over $17,000, more than I paid for the car.
Over 40 oil changes.
Killed 1 deer
Road trips to Canada, Colorado, South Dakota and many closer. Driven by everyone in the family for at least a year. Everyone had a little touch to it.
However, as a lot of cars will do, the rust started taking its toll on the frame and the brake lines. It was time. Not being used I had to charge the battery, kill a wasp nest that had taken hold inside the trunk deck lid. Still runs like a champ. I took it around the block a few times for old time sake.
One of the best cars I ever owned.
