Goodbye ol’ girl.
I guess it’s the week for getting rid of stuff. Today we say goodbye to our trusty ol’ Saturn wagon. Actually it’s not so trusty anymore. That’s why we’re getting rid of it. She’s being donated to the American Cancer Society and I hope they get something for her.
We bought it new in 1994 soon after our first child was born. We needed a bigger car and this was as big as we could afford. She’s a 94 Saturn SW1 from back when Saturn was a new “different” kind of car company instead of the defunct regular kind of car company it is now. We had a couple accidents with her over the years, the first and worst being $7,000 worth of damage (on a $14,000 car!) when she was only four months old. And Anne, our dog, and I had a nice long cross country trip in her when we moved back east. She was my commute car for many years and I’ll miss her.
We are now saving up for that new hybrid car and will be getting it soon (I hope). Unless… anybody have an extra Prius out there?
