Before another member of 237 beats me to it I'll have to tell you first hand that washer fluid doesn't taste well!

They showed up minutes after the car was delivered (towed) to my house and we were going over the car finding out what still works and what doesn't. I reached through the drivers window and turned the wipers on, they work on both speeds and intermittent and then I press for the washers. Well the one is out of adjustment and shoots over the windshield, missing it, towards the driver side front pillar and hits me in the face and mouth!

Other than it's physical appearance the car is actually in good shape. There's no major rust, most everything works, lights, horn, wipers, factory Delco radio, power windows and door locks. It's also got a new battery in it. The engine starts right up and the car does drive but the reason it was towed is because one of the front brake lines blew. I basically bought the car for the good running Olds 307 in it. It has 130k on it. In addition to the engine itself the power window motors and some of the other stuff will make good spares for my Caprice. I don't think it was a bad deal for $200. The towing was free with AAA. The wheels and axles are staying with the car. My driveway has a difficult hill to it and they will make it easier for the salvage yard to haul the carcuss away next week.

All the interior lights are red. The lights in the doors, under the dash, and the dome light. It was errie last night as I worked on the car out in my driveway. I wonder what the neighbors think when they see this thing in my driveway.
