Kristin’s 2006 Volvo S60

Donated to San Francisco SPCA

San Francisco SPCA Car Donation Review

“I am very glad I was able to donate my car to the SPCA!”

I am very glad I was able to donate my car to the SPCA! It is a 2006 blue Volvo, which I got in 2012. It has been a great car, and has shared many Northern CA adventures with me. It has almost 135k miles, but looks relatively good for a grand dame (though there is a little metaphorical wrinkling and sagging) πŸ˜‰ I very much respect the work of the SPCA, and was recently dropping off pumpkins from our office Halloween/Thanksgiving decorations at the Burlingame SPCA (for critters to munch). I took time to check out the facility – three amazing floors of different species being comfortably and respectfully housed. And I hope my sweet old car will be able to support that effort in some way! I hope it finds a wonderful new owner who cares for it as much as I do/did πŸ™‚

Thank You, Kristin!

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.
