    Drove it to test how the new engine repair I just did came out. Aside from a little vibration at idle and over 3000rpm it's great, powerful but smooth.

    I said "Good Morning" to her this morning as she sits under a mountain of boxes in the garage. I could hear softly say "Please let me out to play".
