My Car Was Stolen
Todays blog post is a personal one, In september my car was stolen from right infront of my house. After eight years of road trips and daily commutes and a handful of break downs it sadness me to say our time has come to and end. Our journey was long and it had its ups and downs, I truly loved driving that car. Her name was Old Reliable and she lived up to her name. So RIP to my 97 honda accord coupe ex.
It was a very stressful and tramatic situation and I dont wish it upon anyone, big thanks to my family my bestie and close friends for their support during those stressful times. Below are some pictures of me and Old Reliable over the years.
I bought her for $1,000 which was a great buy, With a little maintenance she took me from 187k to about 270k and she would have made it much further if not for her un timely demise.
