RENO, Nev. (KOLO/Gray News) - There was no look of surprise, rather Veteran Ron Selby’s first reaction upon getting a free car was thanking the crew at CoAuto in Reno, Nevada for making it happen.

And after talking to him, the news could not have come at a better time.

“You know I am in and out of the hospital a lot because I have nerve damage and stuff,” says Selby. “And financially it is just hard to rise above and do stuff like this. And so, we take our kids to school. We barely got here today,” he says.

The 2006 Toyota RAV had mechanics working for the past several weeks. Former owners decided not to put any more money into it, so the auto repair shop thought it would be great to fix it up and give it to a Veteran.

This is the sixth year in a row CoAuto has rehabilitated a used car and handed the keys over to a Veteran. The shop works with Nation’s Finest who selects a Veteran and determines the family can handle the responsibility.

“He has a stable foundation to support bringing on a vehicle. Registering and insuring it. He also has a need,” says Natalie Stering with Nation’s Finest.

Selby says he and his wife, and three kids barely made it to the shop from Fernley in a vehicle that has trouble getting into gear. So unreliable, he says they’ve had to get rides from friends and others just for daily activities.

It’s stories like that which let the CoAuto crew know their efforts are well worth it.

“The whole experience was just amazing. It truly was,” says Matt Rubb, CoAuto Service Manager. “To just give back to a Veteran in a different way,” he says. Along with the car, Nation’s Finest also donated toys to Ryan, Robert, and Ethan, the Selby children.

The car will be perfect for a family who needed a simple break as they head into the new year.

What Are The Essential Indicate Take Into Consideration While Towing Hitch? Making sure that your vehicle is appropriately attached by 4 points is the first step that you need to watch for. The next has to do with the stress of those attachments https://sites.google.com/view/bestlargestcartowingcompany/home . Just as having your car or truck safeguarded in 4 areas is necessary to its safe transport, so too is having equivalent tension on each of those four points. If the stress of the accessory between your car as well as the tow-truck bed is greater on one point than an additional, or on one side than an additional, this could turn your car's structure. A twisted frame means a major repair job, so ensure that your tow truck operator completes this step of the process. It's easy for skilled towing professionals to make sure that the pressure of the load is evenly distributed, yet it does take a little more time, which is why a low-grade towing service might be tempted to miss

https://tow-efficiently.blogspot.com/2022/01/bmw-alpina-roadster-v8-sells-for-over.html Americans were willing to pay $900 more than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for nonluxury new cars in November 2021, pushing the average transaction price for a new car to a record-breaking $43,144. The sharp uptick in the amount of money paid for a new vehicle comes amid several factors, including continued low inventories of new cars and strong demand for pricey SUV models in particular. Demand for passenger cars rather than SUVs, vans, and trucks has plummeted. Cars accounted for just 22% of sales in November, compared with 30% as recently as the same month in 2018.

About 5:30 a.m. Sunday, a car rolled from a parking lot into an electrical box outside a vacant Milwaukee building, according to WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee. Firefighters arrived on the scene and put out the fire caused by the crash that was consuming the car, and had the car towed to a city lot. About three hours later, an attendant at the lot reported seeing a body in the back seat of the car, which the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office later identified as 21-year-old Jenna Reichartz, WTMJ reported. Milwaukee police told WTMJ that surveillance video from a nearby gas station showed Reichartz's car moving slowly through
