Progress this Evening

Dave and I did a little work to the Festiva. Dave shampooed the backseat and it looks better now. Tetanus shots are no longer mandated by the CDC for any occupants in the rear seat. We also got the transmission fluid changed. This car, as with several other manual transmission cars, is supposed to have the trannies filled with automatic transmission fluid. However, it looked like some nice 75W90 gear oil was pouring out of the transmission "pan". We took it down the road and it seemed to shift a lot easier. Before, it would shift smoothly and it would get a little tougher to shift as it warmed up (sounds backwards I know). We also washed it and put a coat of wax on it so it looks a little better. We are hoping that if we treat it right, it will treat us right in return.

Dave (left) and I (right) finally got a pic of ourselves to put on here:


Here is one we were younger. I was a lot shorter than Dave and he was a better dancer back then:



Seriously, that isn't us, but I can't help to laugh every time I see those two guys. If anybody has a link to a video of this with sound, I would love to have it.
