This happened about a month ago now, but here is the post now anyway.
The first car that Spencer and I bought finally gave up the ghost, so to speak, but it left us under bad circumstances. Spencer had a small fender bender one day on his way to work. All the damage was done to our little car. The front grill was bend and one of the front headlights was broken, but the car was still drivable (it didn't look pretty but it worked).
Unfortunatley the cost of the repairs was more then the the insurance company was willing to pay for (since it was such an old car), so they wrote it off and our car got towed away.
Here is a little history on our beloved car:
We bought it in the spring of 2000
It was a (1990) Toyota Corolla that was 10 years old when we bought it
I had a fender bender that was repaired and better than new
We replaced the cam-shaft, and muffler (a few times)
We could fill it up for about $20 when we first bought it, now days it cost us around $40 and up
We were having some problems with the electrical and our tail lights not to mention that our radio didn't work, the drivers seatbelt was cracked, and the inside door handle was broken.
We drove it back and forth to Indiana twice!
We drove it back and forth to Indiana twice!
In the end it was Spencer's ride. He took it to work and church, He changed the oil....and once a year he washed it and vacuumed it out. She only had about 235,000Km.
We miss not having our second vehicle (which was actually our first). But we are looking on the brightside of things...our insurance premiums have gone down, registration, and no more paying for the high price of gas. So currently we are saving a bit of money. When the time comes to get another car, it will be another Toyota.....something.
