I paid $3,200 on 04/20/2021 and I have a check from USAA dated 03/17/2022 for $3,362.77.

I kept the Camry, but everybody tells me that I am always fixing it.

I replaced the radiator for under $140 and that is all that I recall replacing.

I keep looking for an accident-free Camry, but it looks like that won't happen until I am ready to sell one of my cars, and drive down to Phoenix.

The car still runs and drives well, although I need to replace the shocks (I bought them soon after buying the car!), but someone else bounced off the car, and it wouldn't hold up as well in an actual accident.

The 2000 Civic is still waiting on me to fix plastic bolt holes and install the new (and tested) heater core, then reinstall the dash (again).
I have my 1999 Accord back and she is almost due for an oil change and I changed the oil 6 weeks ago!
I haven't found the transmission fluid leak and that dipstick is dry.
Do I put a in a quart and then change the oil in several hundred miles?
My sister keeps asking about it, but I don't want to sell them something that will stain their driveway and require a quart or two of ATF every 5,000 miles before the transmission inevitably fails.

I don't know what is going on with the 2002 Civic. I dropped it off 2 weeks ago and 7 days ago Crazy J said "I haven't had a chance, check back tomorrow," but the gate was locked.

It was locked again today when I checked.

I don't think he has ever answered the phone.

I sent a text and he once responded, but he hasn't replied today.
