There are good tax advantages to this route, and I'll bet you 100 bucks that if you happen to see the car in the future you will feel better about it than you did when you saw your Ranger
My car, for being 15-years old, is in great shape. There are no rips on the seats, headliner is still intact, etc.. No scratches or dents exteriorly, probably because I am so anal about where I park. Mechanically, she still runs like a top, with no issues whatsoever.....except the engine uses (not burns, I don't see black smoke out of the exhaust) about 1/2 quart every 7500 miles.

I'd say she is about 8 out of 10 overall, though I could be a bit biased.

The donation thing sounds like a good route. Thanks for that idea.
