The (LIFE 100.3) Chev Aveo

Since my Mom and Dad moved to Barrie from Toronto years ago, they loved being near the Bay. I think it reminds them of the cottage we had in Peterborough. Often in the summer they would take a leisurely ride around Centennial Park and stop for a while at Minet’s Point and watch the windsurfers crash through the water.

My Dad would avoid driving on busy roads and city driving. He told me the only time he would go back to Toronto is in a wooden box! He doesn’t like the 400 and when I pick him up, I try to take a side road or Highway 11.

Dad always trades for a new car. He doesn’t want someone else’s car problems. And when he trades, the car has embarrassing low mileage!
He’s almost proud of how little he uses the car!.Last month Dad told me he wanted to get rid of the car. I tried to talk him out of it by reminding him of how much he likes to drive around the Bay in the summer. He doesn’t have to drive the car every day. Just knowing the convenience of the car is available is nice, but he disagreed. Maybe the decision to stop driving, because of age, was bothering me more than him. He has no health issues. His mind is sharp. He’s on top of all current events. Why lose the convenience of driving?
.
“I want to get rid of it,” he said. And, without ask my asking, he offered to donate it to LIFE 100.3. It's practically new. It has less than 5,000km on it! But I can see that getting rid of the car has given him peace of mind.

So, LIFE 100.3 is the beneficiary of Dad's Chev Aveo. Jen Melanson had it wrapped with the LIFE logo and other fun graphics so it matches our other vehicles "in the fleet"! Watch for us on location! Ask me about my Dad's donation.

Thanks Dad!
