Also it seems that I need to get a new belt, it was squealing like a banshee after I blew my tire. Come to find out that that a bolt on the alternator is not there. I know she needs work. I felt every single bump on the road, I'm hoping the shimmy in steering is caused from the bad tires, in which I'm going to buy 4 new 12s, yes 12s not putting 20s on this one. The tires are also the wrong size so that's why the speedometer was off. I know I have a good mechanic that will look over the car and give me an honest opinion.
The car was painted at least once before and after looking at the car there are some dent that I didn't notice before. I am not sure if she is a 4-speed or a 5-speed but she grinds in second and third if you don't have enough rpms or if you don't put the clutch all the way in. Body has literally no rust except for a small bubble on the drivers a-pillar.
Also I asked my dad to come out and keep me company in which he stayed with me for a couple of hours. I'm not upset at the towing company or none of the people that didn't stop. I'm grateful for the people that did one guy stopped by and told me his first car was a 1977 Civic and he just might have a spare wheel in his basement. He also told me to pick up some points because his car used to go through them pretty regularly. Oh and a side note on the way home one of the vehicles that passed me by a 1949 Ford pickup that didn't even notice me was broken down a mile down the road. That Ford was the tow truck drivers next job. I'd rather get all the kinks worked out now before I really try something extreme, like highway speeds and Pittsburgh traffic.
