Cori Young Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I love my 2007 ford edge so much, I HAVE TO SHARE THIS STORY NOW ! I have been driving it since I bought it from a ford lot in 2010, she was 3 yrs old and had 104,000 km on her (Found out later was owned by my local tire shop owners wife, and EVERYTHING WAS ORIGINAL)....Now shes 13 yrs old and has 245, 000 km on her. It was the daily chariot to my 6 kids (A Lot of running around !), 2 dogs and my ex husband and I for about 6 yrs., The last 4 yrs., mostly just me (and exboyfriend for a couple of those, while he went through 4 Chevy's ! ??) ?? (I'm not proud of the things i did for love, but we even lived in it for a month) (now just a chariot to me and my ragdoll kitten)? This car has been an unbelievable dream to me. As I'm about to write this, I'm giggling at the thought of how many people will think I must be full of s#!t lol, but I give you my word (which is golden btw !) What you're about to read is 100% the truth. - I never had to replace ANY mechanical part AT ALL FOR 6 YEARS/9 YRS. OLD! (except natural wear & tear stuff...2 tires & 2 wipers & OIL CHANGES)until 2016! - Which was both outer tirods (they went 3 wks apart, and cost $62 each )and I was very near a Canadian Tire BOTH TIMES ! And exboyfriend changed them for me(...$0, He noticed the brake pads were gettin low, so he changed them FOR THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME! (So far, in her 13 YEARS OF LIFE !) - A few years ago I was in financial dispare and I got a flat tire and I somehow ran on my donut for 8 MONTHS ! Which included 2 - 5 hour highway trips!! Before it finally made a funny sound & popped 1 KM FROM THE LOCAL TIRE SHOP! - OH!, I almost forgot about 9 years ago, my car was embarrassingly filthy, and my youngest darling child, wrote with his finger in the dirt,(which might as well have been sand paper)the word A$$, ON MY DOOR, which was very clear once I washed it also. And...SOMEHOW OVER THE WINTER IT DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A SINGLE TRACE ! - A couple years ago, I bought an alternator because ex boyfriend thought that was the problem i was having, it was only the belt! So i hung onto the alternator. ............ -Yesterday, upon arriving back home from the store(signs on the trip there and back) my girl FINALLY required a 3rd MECHANICAL PART.........Guess WHICH 1 ?! THE ALTERNATOR !!!!!!.......LMAO ???.......I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS CAR !!!!!!!!❣ And absolutely NOTHING ELSE !! THAT'S IT ! She's STILL GOING ON HER ORIGINAL SPARK PLUGS AND EVERYTHING!! (Which I'm not personally proud of) If I had the financial security to have treated her the way she deserved all these years, I have a feeling that I would expire before she would.❣ (Which will be a day I most likely will ball like a baby, but with so many many memories of all kinds to treasure.) Thanx for reading. ♥️ Edited July 16, 2020 by Cori Young 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
