New Addition to the fleet

I'm now the owner of a 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L. It's got about 173k miles. The best part is it was given to me for free. Yup. It's not pretty but it runs.

Since it sat all winter buried the doors or windshield leaked and got the carpet wet. The moisture in the cabin is creating weird gremlins. But it seems to have a bad oil pressure switch or the bearings are bit wore out. But runs good.

Nope. Actually it seems to be a good beater. Spend a food amount of time today cleaning it up. Gotta start looking into doing some wrench work on it. Monday source out a oil pressure switch. Maybe few screws for interior panels that are loose. Maybe a few valve cover gaskets. I know it needs a few used tires on the front.

With a bit of effort I'm betting I can surpass Beast for MPGs. Being ive done nothing but changing oil so far. Need to check the air filter, spark plugs, new plug wires. Might even good to do a compression test. Still in all I've upgraded from Lil Red which barely got 14 MPG. Now ive got a gasser with at least 23 MPG without doing anything.
