And I had to junk my car I'd had for 12+ years (It died. In the middle of an intersection. During 5:00 traffic.) and when I went to get the check from the salvage yard and saw my little green car in with all the old junkers, I got choked up. The guy laughed and said that happens every day. We spend a lot of time in our cars and get attached to them.Melissa K. in Nebraskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437565819948497550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15117059.post-54857989424792456062012-08-02T08:51:46.112-05:002012-08-02T08:51:46.112-05:00I was so surprised when you said they were totalli...I was so surprised when you said they were totalling it too. You guys were good stewards of what you had. Think of what a great example you've set for The Bean!

My SweetiePie was an auto/body guy for 40+ years and that is how we got several of our cars. It's called recycling!! And 60K is just getting started. All of our vehicles have over 100K and still going.

I never loved a car as much as I loved the one that got totalled last year ... I know exactly what you mean about saying goodbye to it!
