Started off raining today. Now the blasted sun is out making it warm and humid again. Did manage to pick up something for next month. just have to pull out camping equipment in the next dew weeks.
Where i bought the car from wasn't really a dealer, it's a mechanic shop that buys cars from auctions, fixes them enough to be some what road worthy, then sells em. I found an ad on Craigslist for a car that they were selling. They had sold that one and told us about the one I ended up buying. They told me they inspected it (I trusted them when I shouldn't have). Bought it, drove it to work, had mechanic at work do oil change and general inspection, found it needed lower ball joints. Mechanic took apart passenger side control arm apart and ball joint fell out on its own. He also find significant rust on the engine cradle. Order parts (takes three weeks to find cross member). $650 later driving it again. Thought the ad was for a private seller until we got there. never again!!!
