Here are the first pictures of the car. The writing on it was done by my little nephew with chalk. I think it adds character. Also, I got a flat tire, and haven't had access to my bike for over a week, so I decided to move the batteries from the back to lower to the ground. It's way more stable now. I can't believe the difference! Not a horrible car for $40.

I put the transmission back in the car. It was horrible. I need a floor jack. It was horrible. HOrrible!!! If it wasn't metal, I would have punched it in the face!!! Also, if it had a face! Instead I gave it a vulcan neck pinch, and it got real quiet. Some would say that it was real quiet before, but not me.

Tomorrow, I'll put on the motor/adapterPlateCrap and test that piece of crap to see if the wheels turn.

But here's a problem:

The left CV joint is a bit not very good, but I don't want to clean it all out. Hopefully just removing most of the bad grease and adding the good stuff will be good enough for government work. I heard it's bad to mix greases, but maybe it will be OK?
