She was faithful for 10yrs before cancer took it's toll on the body. However, we sold her to a teenager (that car ran like a top..just didn't look too nice!) and I saw it for years around town. Last year Jack had to retire "Bessie"..his 1996 van. His "new" car?..a 2008 little jeep that he loves and says it's like driving a sports car compared to the van! The car I drive is a 2001 and does have a few little issues, but looks great and still drives nice and frankly it's like putting on a comfy pair of yoga pants when I get in! The best part? Like you said, they're paid for in full! P.S..I don't actually own any yoga pants but everyone says they're comfy!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-52311010943178980892014-03-01T10:32:04.247-06:002014-03-01T10:32:04.247-06:00Cars are sometimes like old friends because they h...Cars are sometimes like old friends because they have shared your journey with you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606590257093666709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-22729170339702844972014-03-01T08:55:08.073-06:002014-03-01T08:55:08.073-06:00My husband and I managed to use our cars more than...My husband and I managed to use our cars more than four years after they were paid off.

I think it's the first time I've done that since I got it (2011)...and I realize that there is a small ding on the driver's door. Nothing lets you "see" your car like lovingly hand washing it. I tend to be a lazy gurl and take it through the automated car wash. I decided to do the dirty work myself this week. (No pun intended. )<br /> And, there's nothing like a vintage car or truck. We have husband's father's old work truck. It still is a workhorse here on the farm. <br />Great post!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-39953329307479038662014-02-28T22:17:37.339-06:002014-02-28T22:17:37.339-06:00They do don't they?
