To anyone that will ever read this journal, after 5 months out of commission and a year and 5 months of not passing emissions, the van is back. she passed emissions this morning and is running great...and LOUD!!! if you are kind of new, and don't know everything about the van and how much she is loved, please check out this lovely deviation by my friend lazybusinessman. anyway, as soon as i get the van's registration and tags, i'mma get the caddy all smoothed out, painted. definitely by november. so watch out. hold hands while crossing the street.
