The Frickin' Van
Okay, it's been a long time since I brought you any news of the Frickin' Conversion Van. It's still here, resting, in the driveway. I haven't gotten together the scratch for a new engine yet, so it's still waiting patiently.
The battery went dead several months ago, and cobwebs have grown inside, though I've brushed them out a few times. I still have high hopes about restoring it, though it'll still take some time.
If worse comes to worst, I'll sell it, though I really don't want to. We need two vehicles, and for what it'll cost to fix it up, I couldn't hope to replace it with something nearly as nice, so it really makes sense to. Even though with gas well over $3 a gallon now, it's not cheap to run (14 MPG on a good day).
