Cute story.

On a similar note, Terry has 317,000 miles on his '97 Oldsmobile LSS. He is planning on retiring next year so we were hoping the car would last until then. Yesterday he admitted that he thinks it's time to trade her in. It needs some work - probably about $1,500.00 by the time all is said and done - and he could get a newer LSS, with way less miles for between $3,000 - $4,000, which is just a little more than twice what it would cost to repair the old one...and with the old one, you stick that money into it and you just never know when/if something else is going to go wrong. So he's going to look at two "new" ones today. Last night as we were talking before falling asleep he admitted that he hates to give up the old one. It's been a good "friend" for lots of years and many many many miles - it had about 35,000 miles on when he bought it. That car has been to more states than most people will visit in their lifetimes. It has seen every kind of weather one can imagine. It has always started and has never left him stranded. It's been a good car, but I told him it was tired and needed a rest. I don't know if I'll come home to a different car in the driveway tonight or not.
