What's this?

Scotty Kilmer says you came out ahead. TIC

My grandfather gave me my first vehicle when I turned 16 - it was his 1989 Buick LeSabre. I loved that car...it was so comfortable, and sneaky fast. I was super bummed that my parents traded it for $250 during my freshman year at VT. They used that money to buy me a much newer vehicle, so I really couldn't complain, but it still hurts a little to this day. There is a much greater than zero chance that I would still own it today otherwise.

I'm sure they will complain about how expensive it is to maintain that car -- EDGEMAN 05/02/2022 5:37PM

Okay, that is small stuff I will do -- VaTechie 05/03/2022 10:52AM
