I'm hoping to be driving Rust-Bucket home by sometime this weekend, and hopefully have it pass the safety test soon.
Here's what's been done since last time:
-Spark plugs and wires were replaced!
-Rust hole in the frame has been fixed!
-New muffler installed!
Here's what's currently being worked on for this weekend:
-Seats can be pushed down easily when they shouldn't be.
-Floor work needs to be done. (fuel and brake lines will probably be replaced in the process)
-Small rust hole in the driver rear wheel well.
Here are future things to worry about for my car:
-Brakes need work. (might need for safety)
-Oil change needed.
-Radio doesn't work below a certain volume.
-Horn doesn't work. (might need for safety)
-Trunk lock seems broken.
-Possible transmission fluid flush.
For the horn, I can hear the relay engage when I press the horn switch, so I feel like it'll be a similar problem to the speed gauge, where there might be a broken/cut wire or something. I'd be really surprised if BOTH horns were broken at once... Then again, it is a 24 year old car, so it's still possible...
I'll do another update when I get my car back and take a new picture of it.

How Am I Not Depressed?
I've had a good bunch of friends when I was in elementary school. Most of them went to different schools and I lost touch with them.
The last few years of high school were great and kept me happy, with another great bunch of friends. Lost touch with most of them.
Had an awesome bunch of friends in my first college program and loved the experience. It kept me happy, too. All gone.
Got to meet a bunch new people in my second college experience. I was happy again. All gone.
Got my first job and was happy again. I lost it the day before my birthday, two years ago.
Got myself a car, which again made me happy. It worked for a couple of weeks a
RIP Sunbird
After 8 months of waiting for an answer for an engine for my car, and now after not being able to find a reasonable price for storage, I have chosen to let go of the Sunbird.
As it sits today, its engine could've broken down at any time, the battery is completely flat and (when not being charged) lasts mere seconds and I fried the ECM last time I tried starting it. Even if I hadn't bought my new car, I would not have the budget to fix it.
I tried selling it on Kijiji, and the only reply I got was from a scrapyard, and I don't think I'm going to get much more than what they offered. I don't think many people are interested in that project.
Not lucky with birthdays as of late.
So after a 23rd year on this planet, I've spent another strange birthday. Last year was in France in the middle of a heat wave at Versailles, with barely any shade but at least beautiful scenery to look at. This year was in a 9 hour shift breaking my back lifting 75,000 sheets of paper for one customer.
Over $650 worth of paper is quite something.
On the up side, I got to spend time with the awesome people I work with and with the family in the evening, so I can't complain much, I guess.
Here's to the next June 28th.

Yes, I know I still haven't posted a picture of my new car. That's on the way.
Some News And Updates And Stuff
Hey everyone. I was wasting time, and I thought I'd drop by to say hi. I'll be updating on things that have been happening recently.
NOTE: Before I begin, I wanted to mention quickly that albeit it seems like I've returned, the only time I really spend on dA is to schedule some SS posts and, occasionally, answer a few replies. End of note.
My old rust bucket has officially been flagged as a long-term project, and I've temporarily laid it to rest. That being said, my parents really wanted me to get a set of wheels so as to not depend on them, so I have a new car. And this one is legal to drive! I'll be posting pictures and info later.
