Default I've got a car!

Now if only I had insurnace

School's over now but it'll be a while until I get a good full time paycheque that I can insure the car with. My mom's boyfriend gave it to me. I haven't had my own car for about 5 years now, and it's exciting that in about a month I'll be driving again. I'll be able to get stuff that isn't 45 minutes away by bus!

It's a 91 sprint. In pretty good shape for a 15 year old sprint. Awesome on gas, runs well, very little rust. I'm going to repaint it to learn some body work, and I'll be doing the regular maintenance as well.

It'll be another thing to tinker with besides aquariums

Ok why not do both?
How do you get a tank into a 91 Sprint? And how big should you go?

My first car was a 1990 Firefly, basically the same car. It was awesome on gas for sure, I just remember though having to take big runs at hills on the highway and keeping the gas pedal to the floor to get up them Allthough I drive a hummer now and I almost have to do the same thing.. just without the good gas mileage lol!
