I brought my mechanic to look at the car today. I have now seen the car in
broad daylight:
Running on 3 cylinders
Only one electric fan up front, doesn't work
Most of the lower parts of the body are bondo
Horrible paint job - primer showing in several places
OD selector is missing
Crappy interior
Missing door trim pieces
Speedometer doesn't work

Well, I just (stupidly) paid $45 to put my Mercury in the paper, so I might
as well sell it. I'll probably pick up a beater car to last me a while
until I find the B. I'm also going to call on one in the paper for $2500,
as well as pick up a copy of Hemmings.
