Where The Wind Takes Us... One Doggie Field After Another

It has been an interesting week. Joe wanted to get a car, so we figured his budget out, $500, yes, five hundred. We called uncle Ken who is a mechanic and went thru the Craigslist want adds. We found a 1996 Plymouth Voyager with 208,000 miles. It is a 5 door 7 passenger van.



It did not run. I went out to look at it and the guy said it ran yesterday, but today it did not run. He thought it was the fuel pump, but he had just replaced it 3 mos ago. He did not have time to mess with it, so that is why so cheap. He has done a lot of stuff to it, like tires, breaks, transmission flush etc. Ken said it was a crap shoot, but we had a feeling, so I got it. Ken came out yesterday to look at it. Since there was no pressure for the fuel, but the gage said over ¼ of a tank. We put some gas into it, and voila it worked, the van started right up. Runs great, handles great, passenger window has issues opening and closing, but hey…. $500 bucks a tank of gas and Joe is on the road… He lives a charmed life!
