Yeah, that's a bummer. The "extras" in mom's car are starting to go out but the engine is still good, so she's staying with it. It's a 1999 Buick Park Avenue.

Mom still drives her 99 Saturn stick shift. The paint is looking pretty bad and would like a newer 2nd hand car. Something with 70K or less and maybe 5 years old. The son now works for Hertz in security and they sell their cars. We will see

Daddy had a Buick Park Avenue. That was a snazzy car. He drove that right up until he couldn’t drive anymore.

Yes, Mr. Sheym! She should be able to get a good car that way!
Wooooooooo! Monty, that's a cute background!

Mom didn't think anyone had a car as old as hers.
All the neighbors seem to get new cars every year!

Our car gets some weird looks. Teens walk by and shake their heads. Mom wants to get it painted but why bother if she is going to get another one. It runs well and doesn’t cost much at all in maintenance so she is torn.

Nice, Monty. People who can food are the original preppers.

Oh yes near lake Erie its called the fruit belt. There are tons of orchards that run all the way to Niagara Falls, mom goes up there for all her fruits to can. We could pick too but its going to be too cold for her.....
Mom car is starting to rust, but they just tried to fix the heat for 1000.00 last year and now they have the same problem this year, and dad is right they can't be putting that much every year into a car that has almost 100.000 mile on it

The teens around here have new cars. Mom was happy to even get a car, much less a new one. Your paint can't be worse than mom's Bel-Aire. It must have been painted with a "home kit" 'cause mom calls the color Pepto Bismol Pink.
