Loss of air conditioner convinced Max to buy a modern car

Max is constantly trying to save my money in any way that he possibly can.

Max and I have a tight budget for nearly anything and everything, however my parents gave Max and others their old car my junior year of middle school, the old SUV had already been in the family for a decade.

It had nearly 78,000 miles on it by the time it passed into my hands. I squeezed another seven or 8 years out of the vehicle, and by the time I was thinking about getting a updatement, it was pushing the 150,000 mile mark. Max and I may be frugal, but the one thing that made myself and others decide to find a modern automobile was that the air conditioning finally failed. Max and I just couldn’t handle that in this oppressive, humid heat we experience down here in the south! When Max and I took it to the mechanic shop, I was informed that there were a host of other concerns with the old vehicle, and it was basically on its way out. At that point, I was dreaming of a more modern automobile with a powerful air conditioner, and I had saved up a fantastic amount due to Max’s aforementioned frugalness, so I finally caved and decided to get a modern vehicle. Well, not too modern a vehicle, per se. I got a used automobile from a rental supplier’s sales lot. It only had forty thousand miles on it and was 2 years old. When I cranked the air conditioning to max on a brutally hot and humid afternoon for the test drive, I fell in love; Sure, all the other features were fantastic in the vehicle, but Max was missing that air conditioner!
