It is time to change my car
When my mom passed away I kept her small Toyota Starlet with me and for the las 16 months everything was going well. Eventhoug she did not spend much time or money in the car maintenance, it always took her every place she wanted and she never did any deep maintanance and never complaint about the car.
I started using the car and instantly observed oil leaks, engine noises, fuel consumption, oil comsuption and all kind of malfunction that most of the people never pay attention or even notice.
I have spent a lot of time and money trying to put the car in good conditions but I never reach that goal. Maybe because It is about 20 years old and the lack of maintainance of my beloved mother and prior owners.
This little white car reminds me a lot of things, I have a lot of memories with It, but I guess it is time to let it go.

I started using the car and instantly observed oil leaks, engine noises, (excessive?) fuel consumption, oil consumption and all kind of malfunctions that most people never pay attention to or even notice.
I have invested a lot of time and money trying to keep the car in good condition but I never have reached that goal. Maybe because it is about 20 years old, and because of the lack of maintainance of my beloved mother and prior owners.

There is nothing for me to add to Ryan's correction for you (I gave it a thumb's up), but I just wanted to say that you wrote this very well and that I understand how you feel. It's very hard for me to let go of anything that was my mother's now :( but they are things and not her so I have to.
