I had an awesome day yesterday. I went to church in the morning and served mass without my sister for once (gets annoying). Then around 1:00, my friend Sean and I began our journey toward Hamilton, Ohio to pick up my car. It took about an hour and a half to get there. When we got there the first thing I saw was the blue MR2 I was to buy. I immediately fell in love with it. Sean drove it back with me in the passenger seat (not enough manual experience for me to drive it back alone, yet anyway) and my mom following us behind in her Windstar. The thing ran great, sounds awesome since it has a Cherry Bomb or something similar on it, and gets good gas mileage. Only thing that happened is when we got on the freeway, the left front brake pad started to smoke. We pulled over at a truck stop and looked at it. Sean came to the conclusion that the caliper is most likely not lubbed up enough because the car sat for however long it was listed on craigslist. We just stopped using the brakes, which wasn't really a problem as we were on the freeway, in 5th most of the time, and simply letting off would be enough. When we got it home, I drove it around the neighborhood for about 2 hours. Didn't take it out on any main roads because it is uninsured and has the Van's old tags on it.
When I get home today, the car should be insured and have its own tags. Pics to come eventually.
