It was older than my military career.

I sold it for $50.

Ahhh! THAT car, I remember you mentioning. 🙂

At the sale/transfer we were told "Italian law doesn't let it sell for less than $200."

I looked at the buyer and said "Fine. The price is $200. You have $50 there. I'll rebate the other $150 if you let us use it through the weekend." (We left on Saturday.)

We had already agreed to this. We shook hands, the lady was satisfied, we made the xfr.

Everybody happy. 🙂

Yep!

ha!

Anyway. THAT Fiat was a trooper. nod

Seriously, I AM HITTING RETURN! POST THINGS!!!

POST THE THINGS

...I miss my Pontiac

Pontiac, a brand I haven't seen in ages.

Yeah, GM discontinued them

Much sadness

Loved their sports cars. Yeah. 😕

Yup! My Grand Am (aka, Baby) was the best car I ever had.

She died two years ago - to be fair, I could have replaced the transmission in a 10-year-old car with 150K...

pardon, no. 11.

Yiyiyi, that would have been pricey.

Exactly.

And automatics are more expensive to replace than standards

So... I sold her, and got the corolla

Who is... fine.

Much better gas mileage, though. And she parks everywhere.

I was eyeing a Corolla. Nice, reliable.

You should all just take the subway like I do!

Then you don't need a car

I like my corolla, she's just... a bit of a fuddy duddy?

Hard to do in CA. g And yeah. Boring but...you will rarely have the thrill and excitement of a Check Engine light to make life interesting.

the check engine light is psychic

"Oh, you got your tax refund today?" *ping!*

Pong!!

YES.

The first two years, I joked my car wanted her cut of my Christmas bonus, like a girlfriend demanding a spa day. Years 3 and 4, it stopped being a joke.

😞 Yeah.

*pours shots*

what do you have?

Name it.

Question re: car or liquor?

2002 VW Beetle GLX, and I'll have a shot of Smirnoff.

Smirnoff? BAH

I just got a 2000 Corolla to get me there and back again for $4K. For a 2002, you get Grey Goose.

*pours*

*crawls in*

So the cat likes cheetos.
