Car Okay

Hello, Cars have changed. Our car has been in our possession almost ten years. Almost no money has been required for repairs. There has been some maintenance, but that would be expected. We bought it when it was a year old. Course, as they commented at the shop it does not have so many miles on it for the age that it is. Because after some repair, they had put on the tires, they suggested I bring it back to have the lug nuts checked. It was all good. Before I left the lot I backed up and the backup camera did not come on. I went in to ask about that periodic malfunction. They looked it up on line and found no mention of such a thing. When the key comes out and the car is turned back on it all works again. Not surprising, it will not be checkable unless it would stay off. He also commented that it could be something is just not turning on as well as it used to. I can back up without the camera, but I have come to depend on it. It is certainly a good view of what is back there. Leroy’s car is two years newer than mine. It also works well and has required little repair attention. It was so different when we were young. A ten-year-old car was about ready for the trash heap. We have been happy to not have to spend so much repair money on cars. If we keep our head in the right direction, we know that allows us to give away more money to things that we care about. I have applied for another action team. This will help furnish drinks and snacks for the homeless in the hot summer time. Our church already contributes to this, but this year could be a longer time since it has been quite hot some days.
