Down deep in my heart I knew the A/C in my 93 Olds wasn't going to be fixed by changing to Earth Day Freon. The freon leaked out in about two days. So I need a compressor. That's $440, ouch! I can't drive in the Spring heat of 75 degrees, let alone in in the Summer when it's 90 degrees and 80% humidity. This is it for the Olds; it's 18 years old and has 164 K miles on it. It's worth $1000 retail at best. When the fall comes I'm going to sell it or give it away. I had a good run with it, especially the first 140 K miles. By the way, that 1998 Cadillac of my neighbor's sold for only $2,5oo, that's half of Blue Book. I'm kicking myself but then again I couldn't have offered her less than $4,000 and looked her in the eye again.
I'm really going to sell it in the fall; that's a vow.

Aw come on Babba, go and get it fixed. Your love affair with the vehicle is in-separable. It's too hot to drive in Fletcher without the AC.
After you get it fixed, keep looking for a valuable replacement. It's money well invested.
What a nice man you are not wanting to take advantage of your neighbor with the Cadillac. :-)
I got a volvo I might be willing to part with for $4K.
Come on, Annie, give the bro-in-law a break! He's a nice guy!
I don't understand why you drive it when you have 2 hondas in the driveway?
I'm sentimental, it's my last tie to West Virginia. Plus, the spirit of Alvin Dale compels me to try to make 200 K miles. I'm not making any big purchases till the evil king is out of office.
Anne: Comparing a Volvo to an immaculate Cadillac Coup-De-Ville is like comparing Rosie O'Donnell to Danica Patrick.
Annie--barter that volvo for a week's stay with Babba in the mountains.
