Hey<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Been a little busy lately so I thought I would hop on here and do a quick update.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First off, I sold my car.  I listed it on Ebay and it sold— FINALLY.  I have been waiting to sell my car for quite a few months now.  I have been wanting to so that I would be able to pay off my debt a little quicker.  Not a ton quicker, but every bit helps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

By the grace of God, I found a car the same week, a 1991 Ford Probe (at my dad’s work) and overall in good shape, except some paint that was peeling and a part that needed to be replaced.. no more than a few hundred dollars worth of work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The car?  $700.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Initial pictures below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The paint that was peeling..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The car…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"0715081710b\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Front.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I was able to sell my car and get another one in the same week.  I still have the Cougar until later on this week when the new owners will pick her up.  No more “Sunshine”.  I still remember when we first got her… (click here<\/a>)….<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the “new car” I needed new tires and for only a few hundred dollars I found some GT rims from a probe.. which makes it look a lot better than the hubcaps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the side that was repainted- and that is how it looks without the hubcap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Those lovely hubcaps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

discount tire… <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"0725081803\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

..getting ready to put on the new wheels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"0725081807\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Done.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Below is the finished product taken earlier today.  Would have taken a better picture but I was barefoot and my feet were burning in the sun.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"072608_1535\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rear.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"072608_1536a\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway.. that is what’s been keeping me busy.  It isn’t the best car I’ve owned, it is the cheapest- but a good deal and it will help me to pay off more of my student loans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Soon…. I should be able to see the light on the other side of the tunnel for paying off these loans!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Also some good news.  JJ was in a hit and run (not like I haven’t been there before) and his car was totaled.  He was alright, and he too was able to find a car quickly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last thing..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sports news…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yankees played the Redsox this weekend, winning two of three.  It was a good weekend.  We have won 9 out of the last 10– starting to take form.<\/p>\n
