Wow, this video hit me right in the feels because our stories are so similar. My grandparents gifted me my first car, a Chevy Corsica, which they'd purchased it new in 1988. They gave it to me when I was working for WDW right after my College Program. It had just about 30,000 miles on it when they gave it to me. I moved to and from Orlando in it twice, carrying almost everything I owned both times. I drove it as far south as Key West and as far north as Minnesota and New Jersey. A friend broke my air vent with their knee. I had trouble getting replacement speaker covers. By the end, my air didn't work, among many other things. My grandparents always asked about my car, and were so happy that I loved it as much as they did. When I finally decided to replace it, I sat in it and had a good cry because I was going to miss it so much. I donated it to Make a Wish, and scheduled to have it picked up while I was away from home so I wouldn't have to watch them take it. And my replacement car was also midnight blue. People thought I was crazy for being so attached to that car, but it was the most wonderfully generous gift I've ever gotten, which gave me my adult freedom for the first time, from people that I loved so deeply. So I truly get how difficult this type of decision can be, even if having a shiny new car afterward feels great.

Congratulations Roy! When to pulled out the cash from the trunk I nearly started crying

Happy Birthday Farly!🐈

Congratulations to you both in getting a new car. What a beautiful heartfelt story of you grandad. What a fabulous car. The colour is gorgeous. We love your cats and doggy. We have a rescue cat katta ❤❤

Every man has two deaths: when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. Thank you for sharing your memories of your grandpa.

Congrats on your new car. It's beautiful! I recently got a new vehicle last summer. A 2023 Chevy Colorado. I had a 2012 Buick Lacrosse that I bought from my parents in 2016. I put about 160K miles on it in 7.5 years. My first vehicle was a '99 GMC Sonoma. I had it from '01-'09 and put about 100k miles on it. My next vehicle was a 2006 GMC Sierra. I had it from '09-'16. I put about 100K miles on it.

These are very touching memories of your grandfather.

Just gonna start scheduling a monthly congrats for different reasons moving forward. Grats!

Congratulations! Love how felt about your old car & your memories with your grandpa.

Absolutely lovely story, brought a tear to my eye, enjoy your new car.

Congrats Roy! That specific mazda dealership has been where we’ve gotten our last 4 Mazdas! They have always been good to us and I hope they were good to you!

how fun, exciting and emotional! Got my first new/financed car a year ago Hyundai Kona sport ltd Named her Quorra from Tron. Lost my mom a few years ago and when turning in my old pt cruiser found one of my moms canes for when we hit up the parks and my dogs travel bag... who had just passed. tried not to ugly cry at the dealership. Hugs and congrats!

Congrats Roy

Congratulations ❤🇨🇦

My dad hid $100 in his little pocket valet he kept by the door. When he passed mom gave me the whole tray and she never knew about it. It's still there. Miss him terribly. What a fun little memory of him. Are you putting it in the new car? Congratulations!

Need to look into revamping that garage door too👍🏼

Enjoy your new Mazda and the very needed AC.

Nice! You'll love your Mazda! Car prices are insane lately haha

Congrats finally air conditioning 😂😂 I was going to purchase a Mazda until I went to Subaru and feel in love with the Cross Trek 2.0 AWD sports model, of course it had to be the top of the line model in oasis blue 😂😂 first car I owned outright no finance all paid for through being an ebay reseller but Mazda and Subaru do have very good safety features that’s the one I really appreciate in any car so enjoy it you deserve a really nice vehicle, I understand that as I previously owned a Hyundai getz held together by duct tape and a prayer 😂

What is the name of your new car? My car is called Beta, the car prior to that was called Blue, my roommates car is called toothless and prior to that was Sven! Congrats on this new milestone!
