In need of a loving home...

I know, 3 posts in one night! But, the hubby is downstairs insisting on watching scary movie after scary movie. So, instead of giving myself certain nightmares, I decided I would retreat to the office and blog away. So, here's what's next on the docket.

Meet Betty. Betty is Ben's old love.
A 1993 Toyota Camry that has been occupying our driveway for a year. It's time for Betty to go and maybe you or someone you know might be able to help.

Betty's a quirky old gal, and she's got quite a few "issues". But she's also a powerful beast when she decides to work. First, the great things about her...

-She's a Toyota!
-She's a V6
-She's got a kick-a$$ stereo system
-She's got beautiful brand new Firestone tires (purchased for $500 right before she decided not to crank anymore)

Then there's the bad news which I'll be completely honest about.

-She won't crank. We have eliminated the battery as a culprit. Potentially the alternator.
-She's got some self-esteem issues. She got into a fight with a Deer a while back. The Deer lost, but Betty suffered as well:(
-Due to this run-in, Betty's passenger side door won't open further than 2 inches. Unfortunately (unbeknownst to us), this door didn't really "shut" all the way either. This lead to a slight leak, which lead to the interior becoming wet...which lead to it being kinda nasty.
A little crusty. We didn't realize how bad the mildew was until I opened the door for the first time in a year to that heavenly aroma. (Hey, I said I would be honest)!

So, basically if you were interested in taking on a new project, or knew someone that fixed up old cars, this could be a great deal for you! She might need new upholstery (or a good interior scrubbing), a door fixed, and potentially a new alternator.

Here are a few more pics:

Oh yeah...this too. Easy fix.

This is Betty's sister. She actually runs like a charm. Betty's jealous.


We are asking $500 for her. This is basically to cover the cost of those tires. But, we are willing to negotiate considering her extreme circumstances. She would also need to be towed from the bottom of our steep driveway.

But hey, who doesn't love a challenge, right? She's a great gal and will run another 100,000 miles + if fixed! (*she has 159,000 now.)
