1st road trip in the $100 TD

YeeeeHaaaaaaaaa

I am leaving in the morning from San Antonio bound for Houston,
I spent today flushing the transmission, filter, top fluids. etc.

The filter and flush did wonders for the tranny going into 1st...
not all together good, but it is going in.
Bled the brake lines.....good pedal now, but the vacuum boost
is not working, it is a very hard pedal as far as stopping. I should
be fine as the interstate is only 1/2 mile from the start point, and
less that that from the stop point so I needn't go through stop and go
traffic.

I also rotated the tires, putting the "maypops" on the front
and the "willpops" on the rear.

I did get a chance to take it on the high way very briefly
tonite and got it up too 65mph or so.....this thing has more
shakes the MacD's, but the steering was good and the motor
ran like a top.

I got about $70 in it today, $85 for the Battery last week.
and of course the $100 purchase price.

If it makes it, Am I officially in the cheap wagon club?
If not, Anyone interested in a parts car?
