Default Finally!
For the first time in the 8 years that I've owned this car I actually did a total of a 4 hour drive with it. Aside from loosing a caliper bolt ( I was able to fix it), and a vibration over 70mph the car ran perfect! An alignment was done but maybe a tire is out of balance or something.The AC was replaced a couple of weeks ago and that was cold as hell!
This was kinda a test run for me before driving to Carlisle this Thursday. Even my tuner send me a quick .bin this morning to give me some better gas mileage. I average around 22-25 miles to the gal. Not to bad for a tweaked motor.
Prior to taking it today I've had a couple of minor leaks that were becoming a real bitch to locate and fix.... low and behold they disappeared! Dry as a bone.

Crocamonga wasn't even banned from here. He faded away (Barn, Corvette Forum, Smokin Vettes and DC) because he got busted. Hokie "sold" his Gold 87-409 Twin Turbo and he is into computers.

I'm already laughing. It would be great, I'm home bored and hiding from the heat. Not bad today only 103°F right now and I have to tear Betty Boop's door panels, and windows rails off.

What can I say, I'm an enigma. Sounds like a good thing to do while I'm bored living in a hotel room next week during the evenings. Last time I was Hokie, this time I'll be Corvette Michael.

They weren't leaks. It was pissing on your floor in defiance because it didn't want to sit still.
See you in Carlisle.
