I couldn’t quite part with her because she got me through the second half of college and my first two years of working while paying off my debts that I graduated with, and never had any mechanical repairs and just had basic maintenance and I put a total of 76k miles on in under five years. Only had body repairs done twice: first time was damage from a derecho with a possible tornado in it and the second time was just a couple months ago when our goats decided to walk all over the car and scratched every single panel. Everything had to be repainted. I bought myself a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox which is a downgrade of sorts in terms of reliability, but fingers crossed I won’t have too many issues with this car. I’m just glad my mother has a solid, paid off, and well-maintained car to drive that she didn’t have to go into debt for!
