The Rebound

Wagons are so useful, and I liked yours. Minus all the burning and/or broken parts.

What's next?

Don't know yet. But while Jake and I were waiting on my dad we decided to play a game and see if we could find a running car around $500 in 2 hours lol. We went to go check out a Volvo 850 listed at $900. LOL. "old lady driven, great mechanical shape, lots of front end work, poor interior. " Since the protege I learned the rule of cold starting a car so I said let's get there early (he was meeting us there) so we can check it out without the owner. We were there 10 mins early and homeboy still beat us to the car and what was he doing? Turning it on with a massive plume of smoke behind it Hahahaha. So instead of pulling in to the lot, we made a u turn and followed him to see what he was doing and he drove it around the block 3 times to warm it up and burn off the oil/coolant haha.

He disappeared at some point so we just pulled into the lot and waited. He pulls up and the first thing I said to him was "Oh man its already running? I thought the car was located here, I wanted to cold start it" "oh oh I just wanted to break the rust off the rotors for you" Hahaha. We decided to drive it anyway and uhh help "clean out the valves". It was so bad lol. Like it did good for first gear, plenty of torque, then it would kick into second with a stutter and then stop. Like it held the revs at 4k in second gear and was backfiring and the coolant light came on. I told him it was spitting black smoke when I floored it and apparently "the turbo seals just needs to burn off carbon from sitting so many weeks". There was milkshake on the coolant cap. I got pieces of it on my snapchat story lol.
