well today i went against good judgment and bought a 1969 plymouth satellite. it has a list of things to fix as long as my arm, but is already pretty awesome.

it is a trip how different everything is on an old car to a modern one. i sat down in it and saw all these odd looking buttons and switches and had literally no idea what anything was or where any of the usual things were. the lady i bought it from was just like "this is the first older car you've driven huh?"

I took it out for a drive tonight and a light appeared on the dash for a while, it isn't labeled or anything and the light behind the gauges doesn't work, so its all dark. I get home and look it up in the manual, and apparently its to tell you when the high-beams are on. I guess they aren't very bright because you cant tell while driving, and they are operated by a button you press with your foot?! I still have no idea where that button is.
