LOL, I may have already added mine but can't remember or find it (this getting old thing does not equal getting wiser for me). =p

My daily driver was a 2005 Scion xA that started to have more and more small issues. I donated it to a veteran's group and they later let me know it brought them $2,500! =)

And I semi let go of my 1972 FJ40 that I've driven since 1975. I gave it to my daughter and it'll be a joint project to restore it for her to use in the summer.

the xA loaded for a ... wait for it ... DUMP RUN!

the Tojo - such an awesome daily driver from 1975 to 2000 - I rebuilt the engine (actually a 1969 engine) hanging it from a tree in 1986 and drove it from Texas to Ontario twice, plus loads of 4-wheelin' fun including breaking both front leaf springs! 310K miles!

When I got divorced in 2015 I traded in my silverado for a GMC terrain. first time I never had a truck.

Son fell asleep at the wheel on his way home from college and totaled his accord.

So with my son needing a car I gave him my terrain and I bought the tremor. I really wanted to wait another year to pick a new midsize truck to see what the new ranger and tacoma were like. Plus I wanted to save for a bigger down payment. My $3000 per month child support had only ended 6 months prior to the accident. Oh well. Sometimes you have to roll with the punches.

Glad that your boy made it out of that wreck all right; that could have been much worse.

I guess I should have mentioned that the driver he hit and him were OK.
I kind of figured that he got out of that ok, since your major comment on the accident was that you handed over the Terrain to him.

2016 Ram 1500. Grew up with Ford, worked at Chrysler for several years. Didn't need the size of the Ram and was tired of fixing stuff that I diagnosed and worked solutions for when I worked there, very irritating.

I used to have one of these, too, in green, to boot, and it served us well, but I let it go around 2010 to get a Honda Element!

Sold the 2016 F150 in 08/21. Ordered the Tremor 09/21. Picked up the 2003 Sable for $2500 in 08/21 to be the in between vehicle until the Tremor was built and picked up 04/21. Sold the Sable for $2500 so it was a freebie ride.
