Today I am thankful for my little car, with over 52,000 miles and 13 years old based on model year. Dexter has served me well during those 13 years, and I anticipate he will for some time to come.
When I purchased this little car, I said it was my "last car". I wonder whether in fact it will end up being just that, 'cause he seems to have life left in him, and I'm a little leery of the fancy new "computer surrounded by vehicle" jobs they sell these days.
I am also thankful that I still am able to keep driving, as it's a big part of living independently as we get old-er.
Kind of a corollary to my earlier gratitude for the medical profession, I'm thankful for the cataract surgery and the glaucoma meds that make this independence possible.
I chuckle at your mileage! I remember my cars, poor things. I went through 3 when I commuted 100+ miles a day. Yeah, now they are computers on wheels. Just the other day DH said he had to update the map in his SUV!
ReplyDeleteWe feel the same way about Sparky. He probably is our last one too and that's okay with us. Have a wonderful day!
