I've done collision repair since 1987 and have been a shop owner since 1993. A couple of years ago I switched to a state mechanic job, mostly for benefits, including insurance! I still do my collision repair evenings and most weekends (I've got the building and tools, why not?).
I'd been looking for the past year for an economical car to drive to my day job ~50 miles round trip. Monday being a holiday, the state was shut down so I went to my shop. And elderly man comes in for an estimate, somewhat broken out his hatch glass and broke the wiper blade arm.
Long story short, I bought the car from this couple Wednesday, they didn't like the cars ride, and knee replacement didn't sit well with stick shift.
I have a back glass coming and a new wiper arm.
Here is my new to me 2009 Aveo5 LT 5spd with almost 89k miles.
