Have found someone to take the car.

The New Jersey Institute for Social Justice doesn't seem the least bit fazed by inspection problems or what have you. They're an advocacy organization for New Jersey's city populations. I told the guy on the phone that the car had 106,000 miles or more on it, that the front fender and bumper were cracked, that the inspection was expiring at the end of the month... he said that was okay, it was still more than some of their people had, especially the ones who're just transitioning now to the world of work. (I had a look at their web site. That could be any one of a number of categories of people, including homeless folks and prisoners returning to life on the outside.)

I should at least take it in for an oil change before I sign it over. It's the least I can do.

I'm glad you were able to find a good place to donate teh car. still, tho--i read your description and think, Dude. I've never HAD a car with less than 130K on it when I got it. 106K sounds like new.

I bought this car at *thinks for a bit* something like thirty thousand miles. Maybe less. The car I had before that was around forty thousand when I bought it, but there was an accident and it got totalled. And the cars I learned to drive on were both bought new (my parents had to have two cars because of working in two geographically divergent places). I'm not really used to old cars, and half my family is of the 'OMG AMERICAN CAR WITH MORE THAN 100K MILES EW EW EW DEATH TRAP EW!' persuasion, so...
