Happy Friday all.

In keeping with the Friday spirit I have decided to share my way of living
with the cost of fuel.
I now have as my daily driver a 87 toyota corola FX.(crusty) . It has been
idle for 2.5 years at my guru garage. We got it running so that it could drive
to the junk yard. ( more money if you driveit in) $$$. cost was about
20bucks.  Then I asked , half joking,will this pass emission?
Well it did and now i have a free car with great gass milage 32mpg in the
city.  It accelerates better than the van. ; )  Even the A.C.  works. The van is
on stands awating the long put off suspension work.It is  nice to have a
beeter so I can get working on the van and get to work if I have  to wait for parts

My 2 cents
