The Echo finds a home with friends

Now this is a cool story.  As most of you know, I sold my Saturn and took over mom’s Echo when she couldn’t drive anymore.  I never liked the Echo.  A couple weeks ago I started thinking about trading it in, and I hemmed and hawed about it.  Finally I felt it was the right thing to do, so I traded it, paid half the price for a downpayment and accepted a three year payoff on the other half of a Honda Fit.  A much more ME car and I get payments for my credit report.

Yesterday I got an email from an old friend of my mom’s.  His partner’s mother had been searching for an Echo and she found one.  She sent pictures to her son, he took a look at the bumper stickers and said, “I know that car!”

So my mother’s Echo, a week after I traded it in, ends up with the mother of one of mom’s friends.  How cool is that?
