Sounds like the car was meant just for you.

My 2009 Smart Car was totaled at the beginning of the covid lockdowns. It was the only new car I ever bought and I babied that thing. (I was always very much against new cars because of the depreciation... but I just fell in love with that car... and I was 3 months away from paying off my house)

Anyway, I called up and cried to my mechanic... who told me he was ready to sell *his* 2015 Smart and would sell it to me for the $$$$ I was getting from insurance. Meant to be.
