New microwave

I picked up a new over the stove microwave for $15 at a garage sale. It was new, the seller said it was too big for their cupboards to fit. Since my existing counter top microwave was acting up, [the #5 and Start buttons stopped working] I figured this was a great deal. I’m such a sucker for deals at garage sales. I still need to install a trim piece at the top, but my kids were in be, and I didnt want to wake them up with by using the saw to cut it.

This Mustang and truck were tied for 1st place. This was the tie breaker. The Mustang won, cause of the colored smoke.
