Last night, I finally put Nelly, my 21 year-old vehicle, out of commission. I have a picture of him saved on my cell phone, but the file is too big to send to my computer. I found a picture of what he kinda looked like. Same color, except he wasn't nearly as pristine:
I sentimentally watched him go behind the salvage gate for the very last time. I bought him when we first arrived here in Houston after the hurricanes, and in the three years I have owned him, it was a love-hate relationship, but he served me well.
Here is a picture of my new car, a 2006 Ford Taurus (same color, with grey cloth interior):
My new car only has 10,000 miles on it! I bought it from CarMax, and I later found out that it was a vehicle that the company used as a loaner to customers who were having their car serviced. This car is in excellent condition; not one conspicuous scratch on it! Everything is factory, but that's fine with me; I'm not a teenager anymore, having to drive around with everyone listening to my music! I have AIR CONDITIONING!!!! It came with the floor mats, the manual, and two keys, one with a remote. And my car note and full-coverage insurance are EXTREMELY affordable; even if I still worked at Wal-Mart, I would be able to afford them!
What a blessing! God is SO GOOD to me. I would have been satisfied with some cash car, like an older Honda Accord or something, but instead He made sure that I was able to afford a newer, much better car, along with the insurance and the extended warranty that needed to go on it! Who says that God doesn't HEAR and ANSWER prayer?!? And His answer is ALWAYS better than what you expected, or what you would have settled for yourself!

P.S. If you're looking to buy another vehicle, go to CarMax!

I love your car and so happy that it is so affordable. Sorry Nelly had to go. LOL
I hope you have more luck with your Taurus then I have had with mine....you got one up on me just from it being affordable...I like the way the car looks though so I am laying mine to rest after just 6 months and yet I will still owe on it even though all the factory parts have started to fail. I have heard that carmax is a good company though so I am looking at getting my next car from them too. So happy for you:-)
