How Major Pain earned her name

Oops! Probably should have posted here first!
Anyway, have a 1991 RMW that my wife has aptly named Major Pain. The first 1886 miles were interesting to say the least. I bought the car to move my girlfriend (wife now) to Idaho from Indiana. Spent about a week getting her drivable since she was sitting for-according to the previous owner-4 years but fluids and everything looked clean and good and apart from the drivers inner fender, rust free.
Only reason it took a week to get her going was my dumbass neglected to replace the fuel pump and filter. Soon as those got replaced, she fired right up! Albeit running pretty rich. 150 miles later and in Illinois, died and wouldn't stay running long. Bad fuel pump from factory. Replaced fuel pump and filter. again. Running again but poorly. Come to find out it was the ECT sensor making her run like she was cold. Replaced that and no problems the rest of the time.
We have also been on three road trips in her but as of now 116k miles
Awesome car, hell yeah I'd do it again lmao!

Forgive my old eyes, is it black ?

Hard to tell in that lighting. Black or Dark Adriatic Blue

My $ is on dark blue by playing the %s

It's the dark blue with blue interior. She's in dire need of a repaint though. Good ol' GM clearcoat fade-it's the best!

looks pretty good from here - vinyl siding is in nice shape, rims clean, hood ornament intact, flyaway b panel still there...

That's her good side lmao! First trip, lost both flyaways from the rear doors, passenger wood trim is pulled away, unfortunately and a couple plastic pieces are broken on the interior. But, that little 305 runs like a champ!

i considered naming my wagon serenity (firefly class) as it'll keep on going even when pieces keep falling off

What a great show!
