Well, the time has come to let go of Stella, my first real car. After 160,000 miles, it is time to get something new again. I hate to say it but I have been pretty attached to my car. She is not anything special but I have some really good memories in that car. We go way back to high school.
In honor of Stella, I will share some of my favorite memories.
My first day of college. I remember being terrified driving my car up. Turned out to be a great experience but it is always good to have something familiar to hold onto.
The day that it was stolen by a drug dealer when we went on a road trip to Las Vegas. With it's miraculous return, I figured it would run forever. A really good story, ask me about it sometime.
When I moved up to Logan for the summer and the school year with everything packed into the Saturn. Yes it was tight but it all fit.
All these years and so many good times. To Stella.

So, Gentri. When you're car would break down, would you fall to your knees and yell, "Stella!!!"?
And, your getting rid of if after only 160k miles? Ours has about 180k and is still running strong. Hondas rock!
I didn't know you named your car... when you get in that new car you will say Stella who. I went and changed the oil in the Subaru the other day and they said that my looked good and that I was not up for any services or anything. That felt weird. The neon always needed something done.... Good Luck.... Heber told what car you will get. hehehe. I am so excited!!!
I think we could make it keep going but it would take a $600 repair. We have been repairing little things for a while and we figure we are to the point of diminishing returns, time to sell and get something we can depend on. The problem has to do with the fuel injector, so it poses the real risk of blowing up. Want to avoid that if possible. :)
I remember Stella. She took me to Grantsville once :)
