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!

WOW! Great job bending Jonathan! Looks like you jumped on a great deal!
Actually no, if you look at the fourth picture, you'll see that Dad was the one who jumped on it.
:-)
The sad thing is that it cost me more to transfer the title, and register the car, than the whole car cost in the first place!
See you in a couple hours!
Nice deal, Jonathan!
Sweet ride, looks a ton better.

Wow! You and your dad did a nice job un-crushing the car. Looks great!
