Honda Crv

The Honda CR-V is a family-friendly SUV that's easy to drive and has plenty of space inside. The 2014 version is known for being reliable and good on gas.

Obliterated, well, before it got obliterated, how did you find it?

Yeah, actually my dad found it. I mean, obviously I was young, so it was something he did the, you know, online searches at the time and came across it.

And it just worked out to be a really good deal from what I recall. It was like 3,500 bucks.

Now, I will say this was an older model even when I purchased it, so it had quite the life on it already, but it served me many memories.

And it's funny, my daughter's first car is a CR-V as well. I think it's 2014.

All right, now let's pray to the skies above that it doesn't meet the same end as Aveston.
