I wrecked my Tahoe yesterday, a bit more than a fender bender but neither I nor the FedX driver were hurt, the FedX truck was almost not damaged but my venerable, well loved 1997 Tahoe was totaled as the repair bill exceeded 70% of the blue book value.It has been GOOD to be without a car payment for 14 years, I bought her slightly used, paid her off in a year, and have only had minor maintenance on that sturdy truck over the years. Did replace the air-conditioning condenser, and did a few semi-costly repairs to her as she aged gracefully but now she is not with me and I am about to go hunt for another car/truck. I won't show her crumpled fender and hood, as I want to remember her proudly pulling my boat and off roading in deep mud down near Macon rather than bent and bad looking at the side of the road or on a tow-truck bed hauling her away. She was a great vehicle.. .........
I was Deplorable before it was cool.
