well the time has come for me to hear my pa's advice and understand the "when you first start driving it, is when you'll find all the broken things we need to fix". Well he was right.. looks like i'll need a tranny, some serious motor work, heater core, and some work with everything else on the car including interior.. so i just decided to put it back up in the garage and take it off the road.. im buying me a ranger which i think i'll be occupied with for the most part.. redneck it up
