My youngest son is now 28 and he's been driving the '03 Camry that we helped him buy eleven years ago when he was still in high school. It was not in great shape when he got it and I figured that he would trash it but here he is over a decade later with the same car.
So Junior was in the market for a new car but became frustrated with the prices of the pushy dealers in Florida. My wife and I had a relatively nice (we are talking about car dealers here so emphasis on relatively) experience with our local Toyota dealer here in New England so I sent Junior a link. He inquired and they responded immediately and he ended up buying a new Corolla.
I had been contemplating a trip to see my kids & grandkids anyway so I offered to drive his new car to Florida from Vermont and bought a one-way ticket to fly back home. The Corolla is the perfect practical car for him since he gets his hijinks out of his system on his motorcycle. He and his girlfriend want to get married soon and would like to eventually buy a home so a Corolla just makes sense.
My wife and I picked up his car yesterday and I will be leaving to drive it down to him on the 20th. He's obviously excited and can't wait to drive it and it had zero miles on it when we picked it up but racked up 21 on the way home. Here are a couple of pics from our driveway.
