Talk about old


This is my husbands 88 Nissan Sentra. It is his work car. There are 242,000 miles on this rust bucket. I tease him all the time that he will be buried in it. Instead of a coffin it will be this car. He just laughs. It has been wrecked and has a cracked windshield. I won't even start about the inside of this thing. And do the kids give him a hard time about it. He has a truck and a Ford Expedition...not to mention I have a Nissan Altima. But he tells me "It doesn't cost me anything for gas and it only needs oil so I might as well keep driving it to work. He definitely does not care what others think about him and his "Silver Bullet" he calls it. Well its ugly but I could not imagine this car not being in our driveway or seeing someone else drive the poor thing. The day this car drives its last mile will be a sad day for the Janosa family.

LOL_ my neighbor has a very "dated" Nissan as well. And his philosophy is the same~ as long as it runs, why would I part with it? He works from home, and his wife has a new-er car, so... why not?

Great take on the something "old"! My dh has a 84 Honda ~ pretty bad too, but hey, it runs!

Very funny. Dh used to have an old Ford Fairmont. I think that's what it's called. He got rid of it just before we got married. But he did the same thing... he drove it to work. Thank goodness he also had another car, I think a Maxima at the time, b/c I refused to ride in the thing.
