During 2023, as part of the separation of eddad from the edfamily, the ownership of the Edcar transferred over to Ed, beckoning a new golden age for the automobile. 
On Friday the 16th February 2024, Ed arrived home from work at 4:45 to take a nap before 6 to go to his uncle's house and he could see that the snow was 4 inches deep. He departed at 6, driving slowly due to the snow and had to turn onto the street before his house, his car stopped turning and started sliding before colliding with the curb. Ed left the car, shaken up and after recomposing himself and carried out a visual examination to ensure no damage. After taking off, he noticed that his car was veering to the right automatically, initially assuming that it was due to the snow. 20 minutes out from town, he made a decision to stop his drive. 
The next day, he noticed that the steering was still crooked and that the edcar was making weird noises. Ed would then collaberate with Tim (Tall) to investigate the issue, relying on Tim (Tall)'s mechanical expertise. 
On 29 February 2024, Tim (Tall) arranged for an inspection of the car where it was determined that a wheel alignment would need to be carried out for $125. On the same day, After a discussion with edmum about the worn out tyres (as measured using the certified eddad tyre check method), a set of four new tyres were to be purchased from Walmart for $85 each. 
=== Ed's swollen nuts ===
On 02 March 2024, after an examination was carried out by the mechanic, Ed was informed by edmum that the edcar had suffered a debilitating case of swollen nuts. The lung nuts on the edcar had corroded, causing them to swell and rendering them impossible to remove; by extension, making it impossible to remove the wheels to replace the tyres. Fortunately, the lungnuts were eventually pried off and the Edcar received new tyres and consequently a new bout of life.
