Hand-me-down 05' Corolla S

[slieu92]

Hello, my brother bought a TL so I (17 y/o) got his corolla. Thank god for a car, but damn.

He has managed to scratch all four sides of the car (into curbs). There are crushed m&m's inside the center console making it unusable and smelling, well, like m&m's. The front bumper hangs ever so slightly from the grill/head lights. The front passenger seat has this rather large cloudy white patch and a smaller blot of dark red. The driver's side window's rubber sealer(?) has two areas which have been bent/deformed and has harden into their bent/deformed shape so now whenever I go past 50 mph i hear whistling in my left ear. But other than those cosmetic faults, it is running well.

Reading that over it sounds like a rant, but I was just describing my car

I can understand your situation. It's great to have a car, but for anyone who takes pride in ownership inheriting a banged up car can be sort of a bummer. Still, I'd take it no matter what! Congratulations on the Corolla, and welcome to the nation!

Welcome to the forums!

That was very generous of your brother to give you his Corolla. I bet you're one of only 17 year olds who owns such a late model car. I think I'd rather enjoy a centre console that smells like M&Ms
