Let's Make a List!

I will be the fist to admit, I suck at updating things. I have a journal that I keep of the car on paper, so I will transfer that onto this site, making it much more permananent.

I made a list back on June 23rd of everything noticeable that the car needed. This is, of course, a work in progress, so I will continue to update it as time goes on.

This is not only a "to buy" list, but also includes the act of installation, because anyone can just BUY parts... eventually you have to take the time to install them too! This car is seriously a work in progress. It will remain so for a LONG time, as I am also making sure I do the smart thing and still put money into my savings account instead of just blowing every cent on car parts.

So, here is my June 23rd list of "what my car needs in order for me to feel warm and fuzzy."
