Well, it's 3am, Boston time. My father and I left South Station, with my brand new Red Sox vanity plates and registration in hand, on Amtrak's Acela Express at 6:15am Friday, woke up at 4:30am. After a 6.5 hour train ride we were in DC to pick up my second Brick. A 1991 244, M47 tranny with 199,663mi on the clock and ABSOLUTELY no rust. I have a 1985 244, M46 4sp-OD with 240,000mi on it, but she is very RUSTY. The guy who sold the new girl to me even picked us up at Union Station and drove us 25mi to go get her. Nice guy. Well I've never bought a car without seeing or driving it but she was even nicer than the pics I had to go by. Paid the balance of the sale and we headed the 470mi to her new home, the worst RUST BELT! After traveling the first 70mi in 3 hours!!!! DC and Baltimore traffic sucks, we made it home at 2:15am. Almost 24 hours, and over 30mpg, we're tired, but she looks so good in Boston. What a way to get a new Brick!!!

So I was wondering what do I add first to make her happy?

I'm gonna get the strut tower to firewall braces.

What else should I get now? I have about a grand to feed her with and I want her to be very happy.

Suggestions please?

Chris
