[Shotimes] David's car

[Ian Fisher]

There is a 3.8L Taurus in a local U pull it with a trans that was just
rebuilt a month or so ago...

Spitting distance from NE Philly considering the distance that you are
going to travel to get this car anyway..

I have three sons, aged 12, 13, and 15.  For Christmas, the elder two
are getting computers.  The youngest one, David, whom some of you have
met at SHO conventions, is getting a car.  That's right, at 12, David is
getting a car.

It's a 1992 Taurus LX with 3.8L.  Crucial thing is, two airbags.
Snagged it for $260.  It's in NE Philly, will need to get it home to La
Crosse WI.  It's got a bad tranny.  I assume the head gaskets will need
to be done.  Otherwise it seems intact.  Check out eBay #1874921331.

David and I had a long talk the other day.  We agreed that, as the
gearhead among the three boys, he was the one most likely to be willing
and wanting to fix up his own car.  We agreed we'd work on it so that it
would be ready when he can drive it.  This Taurus is a car that he and I
can prep together.  I look forward to wrenching with him on his car.
Wait til he goes to school (6th grade) and tells the other kids what he
got for Christmas!
