There’s something so American about passing the mailman on the way home from work.

that's the real picture, how to you put a car on its side like that in a residential area
I saw a car get t boned at low speed and tilt over. It was an SUV similar to that.
I just sent this to my mom and was pissed I saw this thread before I was about to post the same thing.
Damn you!
Damn you!
I have a buddy who works there. He posts here!
You know they put that true coat on at the factory.
Still has to pass a filibuster.

Not particularly. Bought it in 2017 with 45k on it.

You leave your car at the mechanic when it's getting an oil change? It should take about 20 minutes.
Yes they need to be scheduled in advance and we also rotate the tires and align/balance them every oil change.

The market two years ago also isn't the same market as today. Things have changed rapidly and used car sales prices are down about 5-7% since 2024. That includes cars in prime condition.
Someone could give me $10 for this thing and I’d say fine. It’s actually a liability as I have car taxes I have to pay every year on it. Its only use is driving to and from the mechanic if our other car needs an oil change.
I want to put a little work into it and get it off my hands. Not trying to gouge anybody. Just wondering how to handle this situation. I was definitely going to consider listing it as is on Facebook marketplace and see who’s interested.
My wife’s family is the same way although a little different. They have good paying jobs but it’s medical or construction. No “office” jobs.
We also have good paying jobs but they don’t understand how because we “don’t do anything” all day but sit at a computer.
It’s crazy to explain office culture to them. I grew up in the 90s in an urban/suburban area so EVERYONE I grew up with came from white collar parents. So I’ve been accustomed to office life all my life basically. These things that seem normal for most people are totally foreign to them and I kind of enjoy it.

Obviously I won’t try and repaint it as I assume that adds cost.
I will try and scrape some of the flakier paint off though and look up how to make it look better.
10-4 on the headlights and every thing just getting it cleaned up.

How much to sell my car for?
Posted by jlovel7 on 3/15/26 at 9:28 pm
Have a 2007 car I never drive anymore. Wanna sell it now and maybe buy a car in a year or two. Just wanna get that money investing and maybe pre preparing some payments to make sure I have a solid down payment.
It has 80k miles. Chevy equinox 2007. Leather interiors. Needs a new battery which I will do before I sell. It has peeling paint on the rear quarter panels and needs the AC repaired.
The Kelly blue book is around $2500 but I have no idea how accurate that is. It’s a fine car just needs the AC fixed. Obviously low mileage for its age. Battery is dead because I never drive it and let the battery run down once and now it can’t hold a charge.
I’ve never sold a car and I get I may not get much for it so curious the best route to take with this.

Care to share? I’m genuinely curious. I feel like I have a good quality of life in my bubble, the major downsides for me are things that can’t really be changed (climate and topography).
God awful roads. Shootings or violence of any kind (we have nothing in our 30k mountain town). Car insurance was 1/3 the price just moving. hurricanes every summer. Now we have Generally competent and boring political figures. Somehow taxes are generally lower too overall in our new place.
There’s not nearly as many strip malls and warehouses down every major road. Louisiana has incredible neighborhoods but sooooo much in between those great ones is a lot is slop. I did not realized how much that bothered me before moving out that I’m constantly driving through quasi industrial areas everywhere I go rather than prettier and planned areas.
When roads get repaired where we are now it’s damn near overnight. My wife and I have been shocked to see fresh roads when we felt we drove on it just the day or so before and it’s already patched up and done. And sometimes pretty long stretches.
Idk the day to day grind is just gone compared to living in BR/NOLA.

Felt the same until I moved. Felt like breathing fresh air after drowning but you didn’t realize you were drowning.
There’s just bullshite I don’t deal with on a day to day basis anymore that was unfathomable until we left.
But we love to come back to visit.
