I identify with the windmills

Round round round.

What do you think killed my Accord?

She wants me to look at the high-mileage Accord an hour from me.

Someone posted a Camry with 72,800 miles and she responded "That would be awesome."

That's it? She's not going to help out her brother, who desperately needs a reliable car?
The high-mileage Accord sold before I could look at it. Here I mentioned reaching out to a dealership in-town advertising a Camry and a salesman responded "That's not for sale, but why not put $3,000 down on a $15,000 car?"

Someone in another town posted a 2007 Accord with 178,000 miles, but it has a salvage title.

I already have a car that was in an accident!

I have been trying to fix up my cars and I have been actively searching for something newer and lower-mileage, but it doesn't seem like I will be able to buy anything until I can get to the Phoenix area, but who advises me to attempt a road trip in one of my cars?

Put down your hand, freebeard.
