When we bought our new Civic two years ago, we decided to trade in Pete’s car and be a two Civic family. But when he started his new job in April and began commuting by car instead of train, we bought him a new car. We transferred the insurance and registration from my old Civic to his new CRV. And we made the decision to donate my Civic to JDRF. This afternoon a tow truck will be here to take it away.
Farewell, old friend. You were a great car and I have many fond and sentimental memories of you. As hard as it is for me, I know it’s time to say good-bye. And it warms my heart to know that by donating you, you may someday help bring a cure for diabetes.
I didn't even know we could donate cars to JDRF!
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
Thanks for sharing!
It's given its all for a good cause. Thanks for thinking of donating.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel...I had a 1994 Toyota Camry that I bought with 6 miles on the odometer. I drove it until 2003 and then my husband began driving it to work and he drove it until 2009. 16 years and 336,000 miles. Wish I had known then that JDRF took old cars as donation!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I am sure you will miss your old friend.
ReplyDeleteMy first (all by myself) car was my 1999 Civic. Still driving it. Although I am worried every day that it is about to break down :(
