It's like losing a family member, isn't it? Sometimes I'm tempted to go to the parts shop in Voorheesville where my '84 Volvo is rusting and pay tribute to the best first car I'll ever have.

But there also comes a time to move on. Maybe if you look, you can find a car who won't ask you to be so forgiving all the time.

Maybe. Reliable transportation would be great, as I'm going on almost a year of driving junkers and my AAA towing allowance is almost gone poof. Unfortunately a less needy car probably also comes with car payments.

Even though it had 215k on it, I still thought it could live forever :(

now I have Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" stuck in my head. lol

I had an '81 Grand Marquis (de Sade) that I thought would live forever too. I miss that banana boat pimp mobile and it's horrible alignment

Is this the car that's been slowly dying all year? Awww.

bookishgrrl December 6 2006, 06:24:49 UTC

No, believe it or not... this was the 'backup' car that I've been using while the other one (which still keeps mysteriously breaking in the exact same way everytime it's fixed) is off the road.

So much for plan B...

Hmm, so now you have two dead cars?

Plan B finally got approved. Without a prescription!

Huh, maybe that's what you need: have you had a working vehicle prescribed for you?

If that's your idea of a "great car"... illuminaught December 7 2006, 18:15:01 UTC

then you're clearly a refreshingly easy-to-please woman.

It is, and I am, or so the legend goes. What can I say... I like 'em older and with personality ;)

Adding you. Simply because you seem interesting.

Do as you wish. Note, I shy away from not content. I am not a prude.

zazen47 June 20 2007, 05:05:52 UTC

er, not=no

bookishgrrl June 20 2007, 17:32:14 UTC

Take a look, stay if you like, if you don't, no sweat :)
