Since Photobucket kicked the, well, bucket I'm starting a new thread.
Yes, I figured out the hack to see the old pics using Chrome. If you haven't then you can use this add-on when using a computer. It doesn't work on tablets or phones.

With that behind me, here is my old thread that I'm not going to keep up with any longer:

In July of 2015 I decided to buy something to replace the 1998 Pontiac Sunfire that I was driving. The Sunfire was number 5 in a line of Cavaliers and Sunfires I have owned. They were all good, except for this last one. It just didn't like me. It fought me from day one, and I got tired of constantly working on miserable jobs instead of burning miles. At the time I was a freelance insurance underwriter and I put around 200 miles on a car per day. I wanted something comfortable, compact enough to put into tight driveways and dirt roads, economical, easy to work on and rather inconspicuous. I also wanted the practicality of a wagon. I looked at early Nova wagons, Mercedes wagons, G body Malibu wagons, and Volvo wagons. I talked with Charlie from this forum, who gave me the lowdown on 145/245/745 cars, and recommended I look for a 1988 and newer 245. I found several that were decent projects, but I wanted something I could put into service immediately. I decided on 2, one that Jared was selling and one in Charlotte. The one in Charlotte was cheaper and had lower miles, so I looked at it first after a long conversation with Jared about his modified car. When we pulled up to the seller's yard, my wife said it looked like a new car. I liked it, it ran right, it wasn't rusty, so I bought it. Maybe I paid too much, maybe not.
Here it is when I bought it:

Just look at all that stockness! It had 152K miles on it, and the seller said it had another 5 or 10K after the odometer gear broke.
