34. No advice

Thu Dec 26, 2024, 07:37 PM

Thursday

But love that you drive cars to death.

Prior to my 2017 beetle turbo - I had an 11 year old Altima that I gave to my brother to haul his kids around in to practices and such. It died at 260K on the dot.

My husband had to junk his truck last spring - 2001 Yukon.

We buy new and drive to death here.
