Boy, I hate filling my blog with "Updates", but when life is full I'm always looking for little ways to cut back. Consequently, I only spend just enough blog time to keep my friends and relatives happy with occasional "updates". Well, you'll be getting one soon.
In the meantime, here is something scary, but interesting.
When I first got my car, I was getting about 30-31 miles per gallon. I was somewhat disappointed with this, but it does have 180,000 miles on it, so I figured I shouldn't be surprised. Last week I got the oil changed and on my last tank of gas I got just over 38 miles per gallon!
Scary oil, huh!
I guess that when you get a car for $175 maybe they don't include the oil?

Automobile Chiropractics!
On Wednesday night, Dad and I headed down into Chicago on the train to look at a car that I found on craigslist.org for $300 dollars. It was supposed to be in good shape except for some front end damage, and a broken window in the back passenger-side door (through which the door was unlocked, and the sound system stolen). We looked at the car, took it for a test drive, and decided that it would work out great for what I needed it for (back and forth to music lessons each day). We offered $150, and in the end the car was mine for $175! Here's a picture of what it looked like when we got it.
Crunch!
As you can see, the interior isn't bad at all. After a little cleaning, it will actually be nice!
Oh and, although they did steal most of the sound system, they still left some pretty nice speakers in the car! Also, the radio that was left over from the Lumina, worked great in this car!
Last night we went out to "reverse the accident". After some pulling...
And bending...
And pulling some more...
The final product isn't... ...well... ...all that bad!

Random Photo of the Random Moment: Is it Live, or is it Memorex?I was going through pictures of our Arizona trip when I came across this one. I thought it was so neat that it deserved to be posted.
Neat picture Aaron!
