Lil' Putt

My new car is a 1983 Pontiac T-1000 that I've named Lil' Putt somewhat for its size and noise and somewhat for a name my son teased me with years ago-Lillipution. Lil' is not much to look at but she runs and the best part is I only paid $50 for her. The cost now includes $167 for a new windshield, $220 for tires, $70 for a battery, and $100 or so for tune up parts. So for $500+/-, I've got a running car that's fairly good on gas. The plan is to restore the car but that's also true of the '82 Volkswagon Truck and the '84 Honda Rebel that are rusting away in the yard.
I keep telling myself it will all happen when I get a shop to work in but that can only happen after I get the house remodeled and the list goes on and on.
