Well...about time I started up again. Ever since my 1997 Subaru Legacy Outback failed inspection and was sold as a parts car...

At this moment, I currently have the Camry. However, my parents are set on having me take my brother's current 1999 Honda Accord...
Of which has had issues and of course the youngest one gets the lowest hand-me down. But here's the Camry...from October 2011. Looks exactly the same (and for those who know about my stupid idea that I had...I put the hubcaps back on...)
Now, for the more exciting stuff that people would likely be more interested in.
My (possibly) 1971 Toyota Crown! Found on craigslist one night out of boredom and came across it. Before that, my friend/co-worker (that I only meet about a month ago at my new job and quickly became friends) had suggested I should look into a project car if I don't want to die of boredom from the Camry (now, probably the Accord). So with that in mind, I just contacted the person who put up the ad (a friend of the owner). I just couldn't resist a Japanese classic and it was definitely something I thought was worth restoring. Brought it up to my friend (name: Kyle) and to my stupid surprise, agreed that it'd be a great candidate for a project!
Last Saturday (8/4/12) we went up to have a look at the car, no real set price that I was looking for (Advertised at $950, talked down to $850 that time) and was hoping it would turn out to be clean and contain little rust. And our wishes came true. Fell in love with the car quite a bit through the pictures, but in person. It was just an epic sight.
And finally, today. Quite a long process, drove to the bank in the morning to get the $800 that I was able to get it down to, was hoping for more off, but the owner wouldn't go lower... Drove to my friend's shop, took his grandfather's Silverado pickup. Drove to the hardware store to pickup the trailer but forgot the hitch... Drove back picked up the trailer and returned to pick it up. Once again, drove back to my friend's shop to get supplies for loading the car and securing it with one of his friend's coming to help out. The three of us stuffed in the single cab Silverado and drove up for an hour or more with the trailer (with some shenanigans,
). Got there, car was already out of the barn and sitting in the dirt parking lot. Loaded it up and drove on back to the workshop. Oh...and we did feel like "attention whores" driving it around. People gave us some honks and people were definitely turning heads as we drove pass. Enjoy the pictures! They will be in chronological order of events. 
Warning a lot of pictures!
Arriving and pick-up.
And finally, arriving at the my friend's workshop and putting the car at the workshop:
Sitting at the workshop
Some close-ups for you guys.
It came with a record player and three 8-tracks!
