My Wife actually had someone give her a car many years ago… Nice story.

she was recently divorced, with 5 kids between about age 4 - 11, in a new city and really struggling. She had an old VW Beetle that had seen better days and was getting too small with that many kids.
One Christmas (1973?) friends of hers (and fellow parishioners) handed her the keys to a older model Ford Station wagon. He owned a garage and had gotten the car in not working, went over the whole thing to make it “good” (i.e. safe and servicable) and just gave it to her as a gift.
First thing she did was drive that car, loaded with kids, 400 miles to visit her parents. One happy lady…and happy parents too.

The couple who did this wonderful thing have both passed on. They definitely stored treasure in heaven. 👍

Peace
James
 
To the poster who said use it to visit sick people etc., yeah i’ve been giving people lifts and bringing shopping to elderly people and trying to return all the favours given to me by people who helped b4 i got the car. So bang on correct advice! And I drive it in a Christian way: dont speed, dont park in loading bays, always pay my “pay and display” thing, text friends to let them know if roads are icy. Its just that i feel awkward driving a car that says sport on it! I mean, Jesus didnt play basketball or anything. He just walked in sandles. Is walking a desert for 40 days classed as a sport i wonder?
 
Go out and measure the size of the word on the side of your car…how big is it? 1 x 4 inches?? More?? Less??

Yet how much bigger is it in your mind.

It’s just a word…

Minivans say “sport”. Real sports cars don’t, they say something like “XKR” or “C-X16”.

I think i need to get real and be grateful for what I have.

Or in the case of sports sedans: a little V along with the CTS; or the letters AMG; or M3
