Life Changes for Aveline.... And me!
Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2012 1:19 pm
Well where to start. I've recently started College at Triton and have been commuting there everyday with a close friend. So for awhile the 94 has been sitting. As it's much cheaper to throw my friend $30 every other week for him to drive his Civic back and forth. But as with anything, things change quickly. I am now changing my major and going to a closer school that I'll be driving everyday starting second semester. But it's not that simple. Because my job at Bed Bath and Beyond was just enough to cover bills. I didn't even have enough for gas. So after some searching, Aveline and I found a little something to as a second job...
Yepp, we're delivering pizzas. Excuse her dirtiness. But the first 2 weeks have went extremely well. Thanks to Eco oriented driving I'm pulling off some amazing MPG which has why it's been so profitable. (That and I must say I'm getting paid well above a regular delivery driver's wage.) But because of this I know have a small surplus in cash to finally getting some stuff done on her. Maintenance is a must first of course. Next week she'll be getting new front brakes, and oil change, coolant flush, and parking brake adjuster. As well as winter tires and rims are almost ready to go on. I'll have pictures of where I'm at soon on the other stuff. But basically her interior is apart and expecting a full overhaul. Rust repair is also on the list. I'll have to do similar as to what was done on Matt Strike's 92-95. That's about it for the moment.
But to be completely honest after having the Caprice gone now, I am missing the rwd aspect of the vehicle. And as I have posted on here before, my friends are quite active in the local Chicago Area 240 Community. And i do believe it's time for me as well... With school, books, and other important stuff taken care of.... And also based on budgets and plans I'm shooting for picking one of these up for around the $1500 price range by spring.

For once, everything is going well and on track finally
