Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program Car Donation Review
“… they have grown into avid consumers of the news and NPR. We are big fans.”
It was a great first car for all three of our children and was unstealable at the high school considering no one there knew how to drive a stick. It came to us in pristine condition from the grandparents, went through three teenagers and still runs great! It’s is on its third hood and fourth set of tires…While the original NPR listener was a parent and the children sometimes complained about it when they were little (my middle son can still do killer imitations of many hosts’ sign offs and my daughter is very proficient at Science Friday!), they have grown into avid consumers of the news and NPR. We are big fans.
Thank You, Heidi!

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.
