Beth. I almost never read people's whole articles. I scan the first paragraph, sort of flip to the end, and move on. I read every word of this. Thank you for this momentary escape into the used car world. My very favorite moment was reading "until a ‘real’ mechanic fixed something that didn’t need fixing, and the engine seized and died forever." I laughed out loud, all by myself here in the house. Hope you are well and happy, and that whatever vehicle you're in, for the rest of time, it's a good one, running smoothely and getting you there on time.
It turns out that what’s more anxiety-provoking than buying a used car is doing it in the midst of a highly divisive election. I’ve been staying offline as much as possible the past couple of weeks and your comment is the loveliest possible welcome back!
The car and I are in the early stages of getting to know each other. The gearbox has habits learned from a previous owner and I have my own idiosyncracies that are challenging for the 13-year-old engine but we're covering ground, building trust-- I think it's all going to okay.
