Went up to top of Mt Lemmon, a few long trips across town, then short runs
$1,986 spent on van (to date)
So, been recording every single dime spent on the van, and tonight the grand total for every drip of gasoline, piece of carpet, tires off C-list or screw for the battery cable.is $1,986 !!
Kinda cool since it is an ’86 van !
Some of this was cash, some is still on credit cards.. but the total spent so far is $1,986
It is running strong, jumps the cop car every few weeks, and has been a solid daily driver.
Looking forward to many miles with it
