Y’all.
My 2021 was A YEAR. You know: You read about it.
As my new/old mom said, “It has not gone smoothly for you.”
No.
It went out with a bang, too.
Remember I had to have my car towed?
Well. Jeff, my service advisor, shared bad news with me the Monday after Christmas.
It’s dead. As in “needs a new motor” dead. “More than $6,000 to get it going” dead.
And the “new” engine has 123K miles on it.
My car is a 2008 VW Eos with 185K miles on it. It’s worth a third of the repair cost.
So. The new year will feature a new car.
But I’ve spent all my money on moving and a house. As you all know.
I don’t want a car payment and higher insurance.
My university is closed between Christmas and New Year’s Day, so I had time to investigate.
I found a newer version of my car for a very reasonable price.
The only hitch? It’s in Ohio. Sasha at the dealership said it would take four weeks to ship it.
No, no, no.
I’m writing this on a plane to Columbus. I’ll meet my car by noon, and we will bond on the nearly seven-hour drive back to St. Louis.
Wish me luck!
Beth
Observe and report

Thank you! The owner of the “new” car did not take car of it as well as I took care of mine. Sadly.

That car is hot. However, I am sorry about how it had to come into your possession. Wishing you a better year in 2022. I love you.
