I worked on my car alot today so I figured I would talk about it a little… when I was looking around for cars when I was ready to buy my own, I found this SWEET red 1986 Mustang. I didn’t quite have enough money so the guy said he would hold onto it for me. I called him up the day of Christmas (got enough money) and he had sold it a couple days ago to some Dad buying it for his kid. I was really bummed out so I had to continue my search for the ultimate ride. I came upon a 1986 Ford Mustang GT a couple weeks later, and forced my dad to take me up to riverside to check it out. We ended up liking it a alot so we drove it home. Little did we know it had a blown head gasket (meaning you have to take out the whole engine to fix it) so it cost another grand in repairs. I was fine with that becuase that is mainly what got me my hobby of cars. I never really had a hobby and now I did so I didn’t care! I also made a really good friend with my neighbor Marc Walsh who is a GENIUS when it comes to cars. We fixed up everything and I kept fixing little things. On my way to work about a year later a kid pulled out into my lane and hit me. I ended up making 1000 bucks from the accident (got the Dad to cut me a check) and spent it all on exhaust/intake parts : ) For now that is mainly the only modifications I have done, aside from the stereo system and my attempt to repaint my car.. (looong story). I have it up here with me at BYU and love driving around because all the cars here are beaters. I plan to keep this car as long as I live, and as soon as I get home from my mission I am going to start fixing it up some more.
