wrapping up...

sad to say my story is about over for now...this is the last chapter until we start fixin my new car...
Chapter FOUR
So on day two of our journey for a car we were strolling through Newton and we were just off the high way when we drove past a small dealership where we say a red 1970 mustang! so we pulled up and started lookin at it and it looked like it was brand new! there was a lil crazk in the dash, a lil tear in the seat and we noticed some rust under the driver side floor but the engine and rest of the interior was just imaculate! when we looked under the hood at the ford blue 302 it was like we leaped into a time machine and went back when this car rolled off the production line! it was all detailed out and painted, and it even had A/C!! we were all curious on how much he was wanting and my dad was like ha yea lets go ask how much so when he tells us we can all laugh at him and walk off! but he gave us an amazing price and shocked us all! he then told us the cars whole life, how it was his cousins and how it had a '73 motor in it but would include the original 302 with the car and that its been garaged since 1988 and only had 74,000 miles!! so we purchased it that weekend, my dad drove it from newton to burton and then i took it from there...i swung by my gmas up on 30th and we all swaped cars so it was brennan gunner and i in the mustang then, i was wanting to cruise down main on the way home....before i even got to main gunner was yellin "its on fire" and was jumpin around and then smoke was comming into the car through the vents so i managed to pull into blockbuster, we all got out, i shut the car off and took out the keys but it was still running so i opend up the hood an up go the flames! about two hours i got my car it went up in flames.....it stayed in the engine compartment tho and didnt damage the int. or much paint, mainly the hood...so now ive been carless for quite some time:( but insurance gave us money thatll fix enough to get it running again so now its just a matter of time before its better and faster and back on the road!
welp i hope u enjoyed your conquest through the story of my poor cars! ill keep ya updated on the progress we make! c ya in denver soon!!!
