this car was used by my mother pretty much as a wheelbarrow/utility van. the rear seats were almost always folded down, except for when we were living out of it of course :)

my mother did used to smoke (not anymore for medical reasons), and utilized the vehicle to its full capability and beyond, so its quite disheveled. it was never driven that much, but the nearby terrain is very steep, maintenance was seldom performed, and there have been numerous times where the cargo capacity has been uh considerably exceeded (occasionally like one ton over lol).

but anyways, despite me having zero qualifications to operate a motor vehicle on public roads, its in my hands now!! this isn’t my first rodeo tearing apart the interior of this vehicle—i did so when i was twelve!—but i still wanted something moderately clean. i also got a couple of the (never before changed) belts replaced, and am planning to get it on a lift to get the rear diff actually fixed for once.

honestly not sure what to do with it. might toss a spare mattress in the back, put on some femcel stickers, and drive into the pretty forests of cascadia and make out with other femmes :3 (the caveat is all of my household is sapphic too and it would constantly be “borrowed”… ugh)

but only time will tell. the only thing i am sure about is my inexplicable love for cleaning hehe
