Minnesota Public Radio Car Donation Review

“I think the previous owner used air fresheners liberally, because it still has a very distinct scent. To me it smells like memories.“

Not much of a story, but my parents bought me this car (used and 10 years old) in 2016 as a college graduation gift, from a Toyota dealer in Brainerd. I have loved it very much. I think the previous owner used air fresheners liberally, because it still has a very distinct scent. To me it smells like memories. Drives from Minneapolis to St Peter to visit my boyfriend. Searching for street parking by my first apartment in Marcy Holmes (my roommate and I alternated who got to use the parking lot pass). My commute to my first office job. Driving to Target in a blizzards and ending up in/on a snowbank. Getting rear ended on 94 near downtown and my dad’s calm and kind guidance on the phone. My single speed bike that I kept in the trunk/backseat because I loved it too much to leave it locked up outside. I don’t need her anymore, but I’ll miss her.

Thank You, John!
