Thought I would share some stories of my old Jeep that I just posted on Craigslist today for $4000. I got it when I was 16 years old, now I am 26. It was basically given to me from my Aunt, that died a year later (hit by a 92 year old that didn't know how to drive). Wasn't too familiar with her because she lived 2000 miles away, but still sad.
When I was 16 I wrecked it by accidentally going through a red light on my way to tutor at the local college. Didn't see or register the red light at all. T-boned the poor guy at 45 miles an hour. Fixed it two years later when I went to college.
Throughout college it ran quite well, but as soon as I started teaching 5 years ago it started falling apart. On average every three months it needed a big fix. I could afford it, but this new Chevy Cruze is a much better ride. Both are manual transmissions and I would never pick anything else after the Jeep.
It had its run with me, now time for another owner. Good Bye My Friend!
