In the gallery of mem'ries there are pictures bright and fair, and I find that dear old Butler is the brightest one that's there. Alma mater, how we love thee, with a love that ne'er shall fade, and we feel we owe a debt to thee that never can be paid.

AParr728: the car

Auto response from AndreaNineToes: AParr728, will you be my study buddy?

AParr728: only two rear defogger wires work (they are near the middle of the window)
AParr728: the center junk box lid might get in your way. Its a good place to rest your right elbow
AndreaNineToes returned at 8:52:28 PM.
AndreaNineToes: hi dad
AParr728: it is a little rumbly (rough) if in gear when idleing, but you may not notice this as a problem
AParr728: the valve stems are kind of short so its not too convenient to put air in the tires
AndreaNineToes: hm
AndreaNineToes: okay
AParr728: Harney says its in good shape
AndreaNineToes: how's the stereo?
AndreaNineToes: if you dont buy me an ipod, will you remember to put the tape/cd player converter in teh glove compartmetn for me?
AParr728: works ok but the antenna wire might make the radio a little scratchy. I'll try something that may help this
AndreaNineToes: maybe 'cause you bent it :P
AParr728: he didnt re plaCE the timing belt, said to wait for 120,000 miles - you have 20,000 to go
AndreaNineToes: okay
AParr728: if the car goes dead, that's why - pull over and tow away - but Harney said that the timing belt is unlikely to go bad on a Camry
AParr728: he charged up the AC
AndreaNineToes: okay awesome
AParr728: everythings in good shape - you will have to look at the oil level and tire pressure once in a while
AParr728: its like a Grandma car - but a pretty good one
AParr728: cruise control
AParr728: power locks and doors
AndreaNineToes: awesome
AParr728: AC
AndreaNineToes: i've never had cruise control before
AndreaNineToes: i know yout old me
AndreaNineToes: and then sent me pictures
AParr728: intermittent wipers
AParr728: did you see the picture show
AndreaNineToes: yah
AndreaNineToes: like 3 weeks ago
AndreaNineToes: oaky maybe one week ago
AParr728: there's a mystery switch by the hood release
AndreaNineToes: hmmm
AParr728: it may be aftermarket
AndreaNineToes: did you look in the drivers manual?
AParr728: we don't know what its for
AParr728: i had ot buy a manual on ebay
AndreaNineToes: did you try it?
AndreaNineToes: woah crazy
AParr728: ya - but i didnt see anything happening
AndreaNineToes: hmmm
AndreaNineToes: weird
AParr728: put a bulb in the dome light - the plastic cover is missing
AndreaNineToes: maybe it was like the lights or something
AParr728: it would cost $30
AndreaNineToes: so you couldnt see from the inside
AndreaNineToes: okay
AParr728: it seems like a big car - you will get used to it
AParr728: but dont spend time dinking with the radio or you'll be oiff the road
AndreaNineToes: okay
AParr728: like I almost did today
AndreaNineToes: there is only one radio station here anyway
AParr728: the car looks very clean
AParr728: inside the trunk I found the jack - the pieces were piled under the mat - and they were pretty rusty
AndreaNineToes: okay
AndreaNineToes: hopefully i wont need it :-)
AParr728: The drivers seat belt doesnt retract all the way very well - I think the original owner was a fat guy who blew out the spring
AndreaNineToes: haha
AndreaNineToes: okay
AParr728: I'll spray some wd40 on the jack and put it in a bag of some sort
AndreaNineToes: okay
