Goodbye Lil White Kia Rio

The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns · Sep 26, 2026 · 3m

Today I said goodbye to an old friend. ❤️🚗 I sold my little white Kia Rio today. I’ve had it since 2016, and even though it was just a car, it was harder to watch it go than I expected. It started out as Granny’s car, and somehow became part of my own story. For ten years it carried me through everyday life, mile after mile, eventually reaching more than 150,000 miles. It certainly had its personality. 😂 The airbag light that refused to go away. The gas gauge that would drop to empty right after I filled the tank—only to magically come back a few miles later. Cruise control gave up years ago…
