I know I had promised pictures of my new setup yesterday but I was busy trying to get our new car on the road so I didn’t even get my surround sound done yesterday. Long story short, ourĀ current car is a money sink. We just put over $1000 into and it still doesn’t run right the icing on the cake was when the rear air shocks dropped and the car was practically sitting on it’s tires making driving it a bad idea idea all around. Add to it that just when you think nothing else can go wrong with the junker something else goes wrong. We were planning on getting the shocks replaced just so we had something to drive as out in here in the country you need a car.
Long story short, last week mom was looking at a car on the side of the road that was for sale. She hymned and haed with the guy but he wouldn’t take payments. So, we left it at that figuring we’re not getting the car.
Yesterday out of now where he called dropped the price by $200 and decided to take payments so we made the down payment and got the title and keys.It’s 1996 Buick Regal Custom. Aside from fading paint and a few dents on the trunk it looks pretty sharp. The interior is all leather although a bit cracked and stained but that can be taken care of with some cleaning or worse comes to worse a seat cover. I checked out everything all the fluids look good and the electrical system works just fine. The only problem with car is it’s not made for tall guys, I’ve got the seat all the way back and sunk (power seat) and I still have bend my neck to see out the windshield.
I don’t think I’ll be driving around to much in this.
As luck would have it, I wanted to take her to the car wash to wash, wax, vacuum, shampoo, and armor all the car but no dice it’s raining.
But for what we paid, if it lasts a year I’ll happy.
It seems like a solid car though we used to have an older one just like it a 1992 it was a great car I think we finally got rid of it at over 220,000 miles because the tranny went aside from that I remember we used to run through brakes every couple of months.
Tomorrow I’m going to do my surround sound take pictures of that and the new car.
