What's the proper spelling for this phrase?

"Everything great about it; the amazing sense of humour, the witty dialogue and the fun, deranged characters is limited to in-game movies".

TL;dR: I need an editor

Here you go.

My current car, a '98 Taurus, has over 160k on it... and my parents just sold a Ford van that had over 700k on it. You two are noobs when it comes to stringing along ancient chariots.

They sold it?! How much could you possibly get for a van with $700K miles?

Well, you can get $300 for the scrap, so probably $500~ if still running.

Miles aren't a concern like they used to be. Many heavy duty trucks are holding $10K+ value at 250K miles. Used minivans, particularly Honda, Nissan and Toyota are selling for 15K with 100K miles.

It's a diesel engine, so they last a bit longer. Plus it has a trailer hitch and no cracked windows. As my dad put it, "it's a working power stroke diesel engine that comes with 4 wheels to roll it home." I think he got like $1500 for it.

I sold a non-functioning Cavalier that had been sitting in a gravel pit for a year for $300.

The new owner has restored it apparently.

If only I lived in a place I could dig down 3 feet without having to have a jackhammer:

It is an earthen cooler for cans with a crank to get them out of the bottom. Simple, effective, cool.

My dad had 450K on his diesel when he sold it, still going strong as of the last time I talked to the guy. My truck has 240K on it, and the only issue is that I haven't pulled the wire on the check engine light yet.
