Where they confirmed everything that the guy I didn't like told me.
All the brakes need to be reworked, and the tires are dead, because the ball-socket-joint-somethings are out of whack.
So I'm taking the truck to the event.
The car needs about $1500 worth of work, which would completely overhaul the wheels/tires/brakes system.
It's a 1998 Taurus. It has 110,000 miles on it. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to advise me on whether to sell this car or invest this money in the idea that the car will live a good long while yet.
On the side, the wear on the car is typical for a hard-ridden car; however, since I'm no longer delivering, it will no longer be dealing with that kind of harsh wear and tear.
The question is, will a Taurus go the distance, or am I setting myself up for round after round of failing systems?
The funny question that isn't: My first thought, when I heard, was to say, go ahead and sell the car, you (charlie) don't need to be weighed down by my obligations to a silly car I don't need.
Charlie surprised me by having a different conversation. He wants a passenger car in the family and so it's not about whether we have a car, it's whether we have THIS car.
Of course, when I take a second thought, baby seats go in the backs of passenger vehicles, but don't fit so well in a pickup.
