*****please rate my ride, and if u have any info on parts for 3.8L '97 Thunderbirds, please tell me*****

UPDATES BELOW

This is my second car, a 1997 Ford Thunderbird. And yes it is my second car. My other car (purchased by my uncle) is a 1966 Ford Mustang. Originally, me and my dad were just lookin around at cars to see what was out there, but then we stopped upon this car. It was a previously traded in car and had only 1 original owner. The paint looked great and the only real dent on it was a slight one in the hood, other than that, there were the left side corner lamp and the left side taillight that were cracked (but we got new ones as part of the deal hah).
That weekend i spent pretty much all of my time, washing and waxin my baby.
Sadly though...I'M ONLY 15!!!! the only times i really get to drive is when we go to a big parkin lot or when my dad parks it in the gudder (which i hate), so i get to repark it. but besides that, its my dads new commute car for a year or so.
So i hope you enjoy my car as much as i can lol.

these are all pics of the first day i got it. and i would take pics of the car now, but it being driven all over the place has given it a nice buggy looking front end..so i shall take some more pics soon

-so today we went over to get our replacement headlights (finally) but, turns out that they had the wrong parts and had to order new ones. the good thing though, was that the headlight bracket was broken...so they said they'd replace that too!! hah thats worth $70 so its good for us..they also refilled our coolant, cuz the light turned on, on the way there
-my plan for today was to go to best buy and purchase a sony deck, sony 6x8 speakers, and the kenwood sound package (two 12s and a 950watt amp) which would have been around $800? give or take installation costs....but turns out they didnt have the speakers...and, they wouldnt be able to install them that day!! bastards
-sooo...we went over to circuit city and checked out wat they had. they had the sony deck and that was about it. they were really helpfull though and we picked out (with their help) some kicker 150watt speakers all around (four of them). after insallation, it came to about $500, which seemed reasonable, plus they were able to work on it almost as soon as they got it! hahahahah
-at the end of the day, im down $500, have a deck and speakers, and am still searching for subs/amp. and i have found some nice packages...i just need to wait for some money to come in...ok not some but alot, around 300-400 dollars lol

ok well ever just feel like a dumbass for certian things? well i do. hah so yesterday i was driving with my dad and it was on some more backroads, as usual, and i was just driving along. As usual, i saw a darker mark on the road, thinking it was just another crack in the road...exept it wasnt...it was horse shit..and i didnt realize that until my dad goes "dont runover the horse shit!"...well too late, and now its in my treads and wheelwells hah
oh well, guess i gotta start wearin those glasses.
