First a semi backs over my car, then flood waters destroy my other one. The car  I actually liked. I enjoyed them both really, but the Aurora was my favorite. A gem if you will. It was an amazing car and I’m grieving over the loss as if it were a beloved pet or family member.

My Aurora was car purchase number two, but it was the first car I actually owned outright. Paid in full before I drove it off the lot. Such a steal too! incredibly low mileage, one owner-lease, less than half price and covered by extended warranty. I drove the hell out of that car but it never complained. Then engine ran great even after 8 years of heavy use. And when it came to comfort, the car seats were better than any furniture I’ve owned. So soft and cushy, with a roomy interior to boot. I never had to, but I could have slept in that car with no problems. It was my favorite for long road trips, short trips, trips to the market or the zoo.

I was quite spoiled with the Aurora. It had some features that my 300m was lacking, but it lacked some features that my 300 had.  All features aside, it was nowhere near as problematic as the 300m is/has been, and actually had to go to the mechanic maybe twice in the eight years I owned it.

My 300 will never be able to live up to the standards that the Aurora has put in place. But I’d rather drive my car than ride a bike or walk. Not that I’m against exercise, but it’s nice to keep warm/cool/dry while going from point A to point B. It’s also faster. So since I’m stuck with the Chrysler, I might as well start trying to love it for what it’s worth. One day it will be gone too, but hopefully not before I can afford to replace the other one.
