Hey Guys!


Took the Packard for a drive to the local, "Dollar General". Man, it was a lot of fun! It's probably a 2.5 mile round trip but, it is the furthest I have driven my car. I won't be able to go out too far without insurance, registration, and a driver's license. For now I am one happy camper. My brother rode with me and we picked up a few things.

I don't have any problems with the gearshift lever getting jammed, the car must like me (of course!). I am getting much more familiar with this car as far as knowing how large it is and not stalling it. Speedometer, odometer work, which is really nice. When I first got the car the mileage read 15292.5 which I thought couldn't be correct, but might actually be.

I'm looking forward to take the car out again. I have patiently dealt with every problem that has plagued me on this car. Sometimes I would get angry or down when things just didn't seem to go my way, but it's days like this that I was dreaming of. Something so simple as driving a car 2 miles to a store brought me such joy. Never take it for granted.

Happy Packarding!
