My car needs it's biannual inspection done by May 15th. I had a mechanic look it over, and he gave me as estimite of $800-$1000 to get it to pass. New tires, brakes, replaces a couple of lights, replace the back bumper(!). After all that's done, I'll be about to leave the island, and I might be able to get $500 for the car.
So, Saturday it's going to get decommisioned, and sent to the parts lot behind the auto hobby shop.
I feel bad about it, because it runs fine (even if the motor oil looks like bunker fuel). In fact, I feel guilty. Which is strange, because I've always been a "cars are transport" kind of guy, not a "cars are sexy and reveal something about myself" kind of guy. So I don't know why I feel so bad about retiring a vehicle made in 1992.
