I'm back :)
Sooo my car has been broken since may17th, I seized the engine. I just bought a new engine, and am going to purchase a 91/92 style header :). Also i put a bluetooth kenwood receiver in the satty. I'm also replacing the ball joints, shift linkage, possibly clutch and power steering rack. sooo yeah :)

Sssssss
Stickers. This car is covered in stickers lol :) The entire hood is covered in 93x stickers in attempt for free gas. Supposedly if they see you riding around they may give you free gas for a year. I also have a few other ones on the car. I upgraded the stereo this week to a bluetooth kenwood deck. It's pretty sick if I do say so my self. it was a long task. 3 trips to Lakeville and Apple valley to get all the required materials. I removed my old JVC deck (yuck). I proceeded to look at the two provided wiring diagrams and matched wires to wires. I cut, stripped, and crimped the wires. Next was the the plastic stereo mounting insert which i was required to bolt in place. I plugged the connectors and the antenna in to the deck. I powered on the deck and immediately synced my phone to the radio. It took me about an hour and a half to figure out how to play my phone's music through my radio, yet I was eventually successful :) I am so glad I got my new stereo. I was soooooooooooo tired of being stuck with my Hollywood Undead cd. So now I stream music via bluetooth to my stereo wire free :) My car is just getting nicer and nicer and nicer by the minute.

R is for regret.
I fucking hate this piece of shit with a passion, seriously it was a rip off. The car is a FWD Saturn golden turd. There are so many better cars for the money. Honestly this fucker is the biggest waste of money and time. My parents won't even let me do anything to it. I want to drive it into a wall it is that much of a joke. I have never felt such a degree of regret about anything. Fuck this car and it's manual fan switch. It can go to hell for being such a waste of time.

Stuff I did tonight
I filled the coolant up and put my license plate on. Not really much done, though I did practice my leaving from a dead stop because i keep killing it. Oh well I'll get the hang of it.
The Stranded Project :/
Today after the MCA test Tyler and I decided to head to McDonald's and when leaving McDon's the Satty decided not to start. We proceeded to walk to the auto store and the worker told us to hit the starter. When we got back the car started with out even hitting the starter. WTF?!?!?!?! So i need a starter.... :/

Picks of the rust and damage
Hi everyone here are some picks of the satty and her imperfections. Also there was in fact a fuse hooked up to the manual switch for the fan and it happened to be burnt up, thank God I didn't have to buy a new fan :D
