My husband was having a really hard time letting it go, but as daily MPR listeners, it was when he heard about the car donation program that he could accept letting it go!
We live in a hilly northern Minnesota town and one day we came upon a newer pickup spinning on a slippery hill. We stopped to let him know we had chains in the back and would be happy to pull him up the hill. He looked at us like we were nuts! I mean, come on! He had a new pick up and we were in an old Volvo station wagon. But with a side eye and a shrug he said he would humor us. Little did he know this wagon with AWD and winter tires could do just about anything. We hooked him on and the Volvo didn't slip an inch, just pulled his pickup right up the hill. My husband still chuckles about that years later!
Here’s my college student daughter with the Volvo. She was really little when we bought it. It seats 7 and she remembers how fun it was to sit in the trunk jump seats facing backwards when we would bring grandma and grandpa along to get our Christmas tree.
We have a lot of memories and this car is a tank that would take us anywhere. We are going to buy an electric car and no longer need it but my husband was having a really hard time letting it go, but as daily MPR listeners, it was when he heard about the car donation program that he could accept letting it go!
Thank you for all you do!
Jennifer donated a 2004 Volvo V70 to Minnesota Public Radio through the Car Talk Vehicle Donation Program.
Thank you, Jennifer!
