Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program Car Donation Review

“But it’s time to let it go, and I am looking forward to having it turned into great music and news on Iowa Public Radio.”
This little car has been a road warrior, getting me around reliably to all kinds of places through all kinds of weather and driving conditions. I had my first serious winter driving go-in-the-ditch on I-35 scare in this car (and it was ok), I hit my first deer in this car (and it was ok), and I have been very tempted to to keep that little car and keep on driving it! But it’s time to let it go, and I am looking forward to having it turned into great music and news on Iowa Public Radio.
Thank You, Anna!
