On my second Solara

On my second Solara

Hi all!

I purchased a purpley/blue 1999 Solara with 15K miles in 2000. I loved that car soooo much. :oops: :lilangel: A few months after I got my car, my dang dog had an anxiety attack in the car and chewed a hole in the curved part of the dashboard above the instrument panel that I could put my whole darn hand through!!! :bad-words: I just sighed and decided there was no point in beating the dog. My dad suggested that I just put duct tape over the hole. Quelle horreur!!! It cost me almost $1,500 to replace the dashboard. Aside from that, my Solara's life was pretty uneventful.

In September of 2007 my Solara had over 180,000 miles on it. I thought it was certain that I would get at least another 100K out of it. Then on September 30, 2007 a lady pulled out in front of me and I hit her rear quarter panel at about 45 mph. :snipersmile:

The insurance company totalled out my Solara and told me that, because of the large number of miles of faithful service, my little Solara wasn't worth much. :puppydogeyes: I was devastated and spent the next 4 years driving a horrible Honda Civic HX and a hardy little Dodge Neon. The Honda got stolen and stripped and the Neon was sold to my nephew who let run totally out of oil, causing its' demise. :arg:

In January 2010 I purchased a 2006 Arctic Pearl Solara SE. At first I really missed my little blue Solara, but I have come to love my new Solara just much as my first one. :angel: :loveit: The new one had 71K miles and seems pretty good. Not sure how well it was maintained, but I had it checked out by a mechanic who said it was really good. I take care of my new baby and hope that we will have many happy years together. :-D

I look forward to interacting with all of you on this forum! :cheers:
