Found a car
Well, Doug called me yesturday from work and said he bought a car. It's a 1994 Corsica with around 80,000 miles on it. Not too bad for $250. It needs a new hood, front fender, headlight and windshield and the frame needs to be straightened.... You guessed it, he got his way and finally got a wrecked car. They get a lot of them at work. We're sort of thinking, we will buy this , fix it up and then, when he finds another one, buy it fix it up and sell the first.... Thier value goes up a lot once they are all fixed, and that's what he does for a living. If you do this enough times, you'll get enough money saved up to buy a pretty decent used car with no payment!! Just takes a lot of time and sweat equity. At the moment until we get the "new" car done, we borrowed a car from my brother-in-law. They have one for the kids, but Steph doesn't have her license yet even though she's 16, her parents said she needs LOTS more practice driving before going solo, apparnetly she's tried to kill herself and parents more than once by turning in front of someone!! The car is a definate kid car, the windshield leaks, so it's damp and stinky in there and I need to shovel it out before I take it for a ride today. It's also full of rust... but, at the moment, for the next few weeks, it's transportation.
