People who drive older vehicles (10+ years old), are you happy with what you have?

I wish I had something that was better on gas and had more power, but overall I'm pretty happy with my current daily driver.

@cherokeepatti Dang, glad you are okay. A car be replaced but a human being can't be.

@SubstantialKick truth and if you only knew how close we came to dying. There were health issues involved that it could have caused loss of life if the seat belt had not been adjusted so low. The car stopped within an inch of a huge power pole only because the front left tire popped and the axle hung on the curb.

@Virgo79 bruised up badly with a black large across my lower abdomen where the seat belt kept me in, also my shoulder was really sore and a bruise near it, my left thumb felt sprained for a few days, a bruise on my upper thigh, one on the side of my hip, across two fingers, my knees were sore and one bruised and a small abrasion just below one knee probably from my jeans or the airbag popping out. All from the seatbelt and airbag popping out which of course saved my life. We got x-rays done and nothing showed up fractured or broken. I look like I got beat up. No lasting injuries. That bruise across my lower abdomen is going to take over a month to fade away, even little bruises take longer to fade any more. I just had surgery 7 days before and had surgical cuts on one side but higher than the seat belt. I was so scared when it happened that something got tore loose from those 6 surgical cuts. The paramedic checked me & said no internal bleeding. Got to doctors appointment late but he took me in and checked me again for bleeding. I didn’t have a good week, let’s put it that way. I thought I was going to be able to rest during the week after starting to feel better. But had an accident instead.

@Virgo79 the driver of that other car has had 14 felonies drug-related including meth. . Got the police report back and did a court net work search. She has a FB page and I believe she got off of the drugs a few years ago but don’t know if she got back on them. She was throwing a fit at the accident scene and taken off in an ambulance, didn’t talk to us of course.
