They have so many wonderful features, and they seem to get more personal to us as the years roll by us. We would never hurt our cars intentionally.   But even people in love with their cars can be terrible about maintaining them. Especially when financial issues arise and you say fervent prayers that nothing will go wrong with the car you depend upon for your errands or your work.

Taxes need to be calculated before April comes around.
