Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program Car Donation Review
“I hope the Silver Streak finds a good home for it’s next chapter! I couldn’t think of a better charity, as Michigan Radio is a favorite pre-set on the radio.”
This car, we call the Silver Streak, came to Michigan from Washington DC when my mother died in 1999. It moved to Northern Michigan to be a house car for a second home. It has served us faithfully since 1999, sitting all alone for many months at a time, and always starting for us whenever we would arrive. It has seen four grandchildren grow up, and all learned to drive with this civic on the dirt back roads during their summer’s here. It has only 72,000 miles on it after running for us for 23 years! It is still beautiful inside and out and it is hard to say goodbye. I hope the Silver Streak finds a good home for it’s next chapter! I couldn’t think of a better charity, as Michigan Radio is a favorite pre-set on the radio.
Thank You, Judith!

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.
