I bought a new car on Friday. We always give our old car to our son and in turn trade his car. I had to drive almost 600 miles today to get the old car. We were surprised to discover that it gets a little better gas mileage than the one we just gave him and the air conditioner works much better. We gave him a 6 year old car with 8000 miles in exchange for an 11 year old car with 190000 miles.

Go figure:) We drive very old cars that get pretty good gas mileage. We don't go much. The best car for us is one that's paid for.

AMEN!!!

People wondered why I keep my old car, but it gets 32 miles to the gallon and works very well. So what was a new one going to do for me, except I could plug in an I-pod or MP3 player. Instead I have to use my CD's. A true hardship I tell you.

Your son is very fortunate to get a car with such low mileage!

Except for the drive, you might have come out ahead :)

I agree

More importantly, did you stop at any LQS along the way??? LOL

Nice thing for your son that you did. Hope you enjoyed your trip too!

We didn't have time to stop, but I did locate 2 that I have not seen before. They will be on the August trip to Knoxville.
