    not too much progress so far, but its a work in progress. Ill start with his history.
    My dad bought him used with 40k miles on him from the used lot at Purvis Ford (local Ford dealership that I will be working at starting in January) in 2006. at the time, he used Leroy to commute back and forth to Alexandria (50 miles north) everyday, so he got some miles on him. my dad then bought a brand new Expedition from Purvis and Leroy was given to my mom to drive around town in. my dad then traded his Expedition in for a 2010 Camry (blasphemy in my opinion) last spring to save on gas and insurance since I had just gotten my learner's permit. After I got my license, and was driving to school every day my senior year, my dad decided to buy himeslf a Toyota Avalon from a family friend and sold Leroy to me for $1k (best investment I've made so far). Since then, Leroy has been my daily driver and I haven't had too many problems, other than the IAC went bad which I replaced myself, and the trans slipps every once in a while. He's seen his fare share of burnouts and donuts (the best I could do since the rear end has an open carrier) and even some mud (which I couldn't avoid) in a field at a ZZ Top concert.

                      I drove my Town Car to school my junior and senior year. Needless to say, nobody ever cut me off in the parking lot! And those cars are great investments. $1000 will give you a good solid vehicle that will easily last 300,000+ if you take care of it! Plus it looks to be in great shape too.

                        thats exactly what i did, though i still had stupid people cuttin me off! i would always get weird looks when i would powerslide around the corner in the back parkin lot. i guess they didnt expect to see an "old man's car" do that! and yeah, he's in good shape, just found a powersteering leak a week ago. that and my fuel gauge dont work for some reason.

                            pipe expanding gonna have to be finished this weekend, my arms are too tired from wrenching on that damned thing!

                            on another note, i bought a 3 trumpet horn from harbor freight today, $15...now the question is, should i install it in Leroy or the beater?
