YourClassical Car Donation Review

My wife has been a listener since 1993 and I have been a listener since 1982.”

On 08/17/2022, my wife’s red SAAB convertible pulled out of our garage; under it’s own power. We had not been able to start it for over a month. Thus ending her continuous ownership of a red convertible dating back to her first red convertible, a red impala, in 1968. She could not watch it go. I forgot to add the reason for our donation to NPR Classical: my wife has been a listener since 1993 and I have been a listener since starting in 1982 in Fairbanks, AK, and continuing on in Minneapolis in 1993. Gone but not forgotten.

Thank You, John!

Oli’s 2010 Honda Insight Donated to March of Dimes

This was my first ever car that I got while in college. I planned to buy a cheap, used car with my savings but my mom surprised me by chipping in a bunch to help me get a new car. I named her Eustace and she carried me the 6+ hours to and from college for every vacation. She witnessed first love, graduation, and moved to the big city with me. She was tough, facing blazing summers, snow plows burying her for days, and alternate side parking. She drove my fiancee and I to our first house and then our wedding. She came and went to the NICU dozens of times until our beautiful baby was ready to come home months later. I was so nervous driving with our baby in the back seat for the first time, but Eustace was as steady and reliable as ever. She’s retired from our family now, but can hopefully still do some good for others.
