Something Old, Something New
So, I got a car. 1992 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe. She has officially been named Tempie after Temperance Brennan from Bones. She needs a few things, but she runs. Just some minor car work to get her back to perfect. Previous owners before the guy who sold it to me, didn't take excellent car of her. Only enough to really keep her running. She needs new abs sensor, a patch on the muffler, a thermostat, serpentine belt, and a transmission mount replaced before it goes. Most of the other repairs area minor. She has some minor small rust spots, which will be taken care of before the weather gets bad.
But tomorrow is the big day! Driving test! Eek. I'm a little nervous as it is the first time I'm going for the test and I'm hoping all my practice is going to pay off. My friend who has been teaching me says that he is confident that I will do fine.
Tempie has new seat covers. At some point, she'll get a fresh coat of paint. I'm going to take good care of her.
We gave her an oil change and new air filter just to be on the safe side. She needed the oil change and boy did she sound so much better after.
So new parts for an old car, but to me she is my new baby. *grins*
