Some good and some difficult things. A better car acquired at last. Lessons on how to drive it. Enjoying the idea that
1-3-5
2-4-R
might work
better for me than P-R-N-D-3-2.

And once my auto parts arrive, some upgrades will make it a bit Nicer, and the shop will get all the maintenance in order soon. Meanwhile, the other car, nearly identical but for being auto and in nowhere near as good condition, has been looked at and deemed a worthy project by one nearby in need of a car. This works nicely it seems. Looking forward to little bro coming east again, and having a "real Car" to show my motorhead brother. Apparently he's having a laugh that I'm the last to learn manual shift driving. And with a few practical mods, some originality will be nice to have.
