i just got a daily driver

Well im out here at school in pennsylvania and i enjoy going home on the weekends (2hr+ drive) and the trans am isnt good in the snow and i wanna keep the milageage down on it, so i decided i was going to take some money out of the bank and look for a car.. whatta ya know my dad knows some old lady who was selling a 1994 ford thunderbird with only 70k miles on it. the car is mint and got it for $1500. ill post some pictures up when i go home this weeknd to get it.

you know what that means now... i dont have to worry about the reliabilty of the trans am. im gunna start to get serious now with the mods since it aint daily driver anymore
