We bought this vehicle in 1990 when Kade was just a baby. We paid $15,000 for it. It had a few miles on it and we thought it was a good deal. This car now has over 330,000 miles on it. We put a new engine in it about six years ago. Recently, the transmission went out of it. We couldn't decide rather to put the money into it and make it run again or to finally let it die. Kade found a used transmission on the internet and he and Brian tore the broken one out and put the new used one in. It is up and running once again. Kade is thrilled! He loves taking it into the mountains. I'm so proud of my guys that they can fix cars when they are broken. I know Brian hates playing mechanic but he has literally saved us thousands of dollars over the years in repair bills. The best part of the whole deal is that Kade has his own vehicle again and won't have to take mine to work. Woohooo!!
