Hi All:
___I just started up the old 92 Previa for the second to last time tonight. Tomorrow morning at 05:00, it gets hauled to an Auto Auction site as a Car Donation for Make-A-Wish.
___She was a great automobile over the last 10 years and has driven us through 32 US states and 2 Canadian Provinces. Final mileage was only 171,854 miles (I thought it was 176,000 these last 8 months). After cleaning out the receipts, paper work, trash, flash light’s, emergency gear, tools, and other assorted necessities, she looks very good I am going to miss her greatly. Since it wasn’t my automobile per se, I only took a passing interest in it including the cleaning, maintenance, repair, and driving on vacations (sort of like the X :() but it sure was a great vehicle and I can only hope the X, the Corolla, and the Ranger give me as much service for as little cost as our Toyota Previa has.
___Good Luck and don’t forget to say “nice job” to your own long term friends ... I mean automobiles every once in a while ;)

You're donating the Previa to a good cause, and she'll help others needing that help.
Just last month, we donated my Toyota Pickup to the Cancer Fund, to be auctioned off for that good cause, too. It was hard to see that little fella go, he'd taken a lickin' and kept getting me from Point A to Point B, many, many times.
Sometimes you just know what you're doing is the right thing to do, and it turns out to be a good thing to do, too. :4: |

| I know were you're coming from, I too lost a close friend last winter. My dear 93 Maxima was there for me, unconditionally, when everyone else let me down. Your donation is the right thing to do for your dearly departed. |
