We had to say goodbye to "Quart" on Sunday. My kids loved this old car for some reason, we nicknamed it "Quart" a long time ago because we added about a quart of oil to it each week. My kids mostly called it "Daddy's fast car". I think it's funny that they thought a 98 dodge stratus was a fast sports car. It's been a good little car even though it burned oil fast, it's taken Rich back and forth to school for the past two years. It even made the trip out to New Mexico, no one thought Quart would make it on a trip that far. We put her on Craigs list late on Saturday night, and on Sunday morning while we were getting ready for church we got a call that someone wanted to come look at it. We honestly thought no one would want to buy it, it has a lot of problems that are expensive to fix. So we hurried and ran outside and washed the car really quickly and tried to clean it out the best we could. When the man came to look at it, he asked us to pop the hood but Rich couldn't get the hood open. Rich actually broke the lever that opens the hood right in front of the guy. It was pretty funny. So the hood was stuck and couldn't be opened. The man took the car for a spin and it over-heated as soon as he drove it down the block. We thought for sure we were going to have to drop Quart off at some junk yard. The man looked at Rich and said "I'll give you $450.00 for the car." Not too bad, considering we paid $600.00 for the car two years ago. The man that bought our car is a mechanic and he's going to fix it up for his daughter and give it to her. I thought it was sweet he was doing that for her, and it's nice knowing that Quart isn't going to be sitting in some junkyard collecting rust. My kids miss "Daddy's fast car", and I was really hoping this car would last us through P.A school. We can't complain, it's been a good car and we're thankful it lasted as long as did.
