Vehicle Detail
This is my daily driver: "Thing 22" (I am a Stafford Fire Fighter and all our apparatus are "22," hence the nickname). I am a graduate student at Rice University, and frequently take my motorcycle in and out of Rice, so I think I probably put around 8k miles a year on her. I need a car that can support a car seat for my kiddos, so I need to sell to purchase a family pickup truck. Everything is functioning to my knowledge with the following exceptions: (1) BN4 Heater - its all there, but I never put the time or money to fix it as I am in Houston (2) Speedo Cable needs replacement - went out maybe 3-4 months ago, I have been using a GPS-based app on my phone to keep up with speed and mileage (3) The tubing to the windshield washing fluid rotted through and needs replacement (but frankly, I never saw the desire to take air of my spare to pressurize the system and run the risk of a leak and loosing pressure in the spare) I have attached pictures below (I took over 60), and am happy to answer any questions. I am not a really "motivated" seller, as I absolutely love this car - but I can use the money (hence the sale). All the best, Mike Additional Pictures:
