A new transmission cost more than what the thing was worth. It was a 2002 Kia Rio, and I got it in 2004 for like $6,000. It got me through college and my first year of teaching. When it died, that's when I got my Rav 4. I love that thing. It was my first new car. :) If new cars make one an adult, that explains a lot about my Dad. :) Just kidding; though, it's true, he and my Mom did not get their first new car till much later in life. With 8 kids, a brand new car was never in the budget. My dad's still a kid at heart! :)Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328895829158457712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-66793469895628068752013-11-12T11:11:17.175-06:002013-11-12T11:11:17.175-06:00“He was always doing repair work, making sure it r...“He was always doing repair work, making sure it ran at its best.” – And that's how it should be. Proper maintenance is the key to extend a car's longevity. Also, to ensure that it will never fail while on the road, especially during long trips. I just hope you’ll keep it that way. Or much better if you send your car to a reliable repair center just to make sure there are no hidden or overlooked problems. -- Joellen Cirilo @ <a href="http://www.youngscollision.com/" rel="nofollow">YoungsCollision.com</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008041804813075598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-7951507174579575682013-09-04T14:00:08.213-05:002013-09-04T14:00:08.213-05:00You gotta love a trusty truck! :)

I'm sure the car's regular repair work helped so much in maintaining its best features. I just hope you'll have more long trips to enjoy.

I've also been told to stop celebrating that anniversary now that we're married, but it's all about bragging rights. i mean, look at Kim Kardashians dating and marriage track record, right?<br />Brent also used to joke about trading me in for a younger version, but then he turned thirty and I think he now thinks he's too old for those shenanigans! <br />:))Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11746295738835996978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-6951211782926047542013-09-02T13:27:45.319-05:002013-09-02T13:27:45.319-05:00Well happy almost anniversary!

Jonathan and I both drive the same cars we drove when we started dating (and for me the only car I've ever driven). We've gone to buy a new car (well, new to us) countless times and each time I end up breaking down and getting all sentimental. I hate my Camry--or so I say. But every time it's almost gone I yank it back. Heck, we even put a new engine in that sucker to revive it once. <br /><br />Also? You look incredibly stunning in your wedding photo!Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-31542695617485502862013-09-02T08:52:46.477-05:002013-09-02T08:52:46.477-05:00That truck sounds like my trusty honda.

Its making new noises now and I'm hoping it holds out til 2014, I don't see why it wouldn't but if it requires more money due to noises, its not happening.<br /><br />I think driving across Illinois keeps on going...and going...and going...until you're finally in Chicago or wherever you are headed.<br /><br />Glad you had a good mini road trip :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248935374379919175noreply@blogger.com
