“Sad to say goodbye to a great car.”

This was my grandmothers car from 1996. Drove like a dream, only 16,000 miles when I got it. Super dependable car. My youngest was learning how to drive in it and it was going to be her car. Sad to say goodbye to a great car that lasted longer than any new cars made today. RIP. We’ll miss you.

Thank You, Matthew!

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.
