2. My brother suggested donating it to the kidney foundation for the tax break.
I'll have to look into that.

3. I get very attached to my cars.
I always feel very guilty when I trade one in. I feel like I'm betraying them.

4. I'm going to feel bad when mine gives up. I learned to drive in it.
I <3 my car.

5. I was upset when two vehicles I had were totaled.
None my fault, but yep I got attached to them nevertheless.

Worse thing is I'm definitely attached to my Jeep Liberty. May not be the most eco-friendly vehicle around but she's done things for me already that my Ford Focus would never have been able to do (getting to some houses down some very unpaved driveways - in snow and mud...) she's just the best vehicle I've had to date.

Sorry about your car...

Mark.
