Good news and Not so bad, but not so good news!
The Good news…
I got a job! Yah not a full time on going job, it’s working as a temp helping with a big remodel that Wall-Marts doing!
It’ll only last two months but there’s a chance to full time employment once it’s over.
And I mean hey two months is better than nothing!
The BAD news:
It’s not THAT bad (Mainly because I was kinda expecting anyway) but my $400 car is NOT going to last the whole time!
Well when you spend 400 smackers on a car you have to EXPECT it won’t be perfect.
The FIRST problem is it DOSE NOT like freeways! It’s got an old 3 speed Tranny with NO OVERDRIVE! That means it reaches peak operation at what freeway speeds were back in 1979, yah prolly somewhere around 55 or so just that TINY bit to get up to 60 (And there are even 70 mph freeways up here) makes the RPM’s on the poor ol’ straight six go crazy.
Not only that but add it’s got the “High Speed Shaking” thing going on (Another bad sign) and just as I replaced the Valve cover Gasket the seal around where the engine and the Tranny connect is MASSIVELY leaking!
So for now it’s just a matter of chugging oil down its thought (Doing that it runs fine) until I can either do something about it or buy a new car…
Which ironically will cast about the same, BUT since I actually HAVE A JOB now, I just might be able to afford such a thing!
So far I’ve been getting interviewed, drug tested and stuff so I don’t know when it really starts, but it’s still pretty good news!
