Like a phoenix...

She once again rises from the ashes that are the parking lot and goes back into service as if she never stopped. :roll:

Just got her a new battery, some lucas fuel injector cleaner and a full tank of 93 gas. She fired up on the first turn of the key!! She does need a couple of things, though. The weatherstripping on the driver side door is leaking again and the wiper blades need replacing. I love this car. =D> =D>

Gotta love the old blood. I love my 89 and I like seeing these things kept alive. There is an old 90 that is running around town here that used to be a taxi. It is painted lime green and you can see the taxi logo in the faded paint.
