So, I finally had to say goodbye. (I think the Kidney Foundation is pretty happy though.) This car and I have been through a lot together...I've been driving it for 7 years, and my family had it for 8 before that. Its 254,000 miles have taken me to Canada, California (several times), Las Vegas, St. George, Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, and more...if I hadn't killed it, I don't know if it ever would have died. And sadly, it hasn't been replaced by anything new yet...
