Another old car, of course! R and I got back from shopping and stuff this afternoon, and Wonderful Niece's car was in our driveway. Naturally, we thought that meant she was in the house, but we were wrong. She had already been and gone. It seems she got a new car -- her first ever, yay! -- and before she junked her car, she thought we might want it. (Because she is that thoughtful a person.) Anyway, this was actually my father's car, which became hers when he died two and half years ago. It's a 1988 Oldsmobile. Yes, the car is basically 18 years old. I haven't checked the mileage yet, but it's got to be well over 100k; it probably had over 60k when she got it and she's been commuting two hours a day back and forth to school since then. If nothing else, we'll keep it for a couple of days while we figure out what's up with R's car. I'll take a picture tomorrow so you can all laugh at me. (Yes, I'll be driving it for now.) |
