Default All stsyesm go!

Today was a good day.

After all the errors, mishaps, oversights, blunders, gaffes, flubs, faults, screw ups, slip-ups and foul ups, fumbles, snafus, missteps, bloopers, omissions and glitches, the day has arrived where I finally get to see this car move under its own power again.

I'm not keeping track or anything, but its been approximately 2438 days since I last drove this car. In other words, 6 years, 8 months, and 3 days... Or if you like, 80 months and 3 days....or
210,643,200 seconds
3,510,720 minutes
58,512 hours
348 weeks (and 2 days)
or 667.95% of a common year (@365 days). Take your pick.

Either way, thought you might like to enjoy the experience with me. Boring video links below. No crazy burnouts, no real getting on it, just some lame drive around town to make sure the car, me, and my cameras all know what we're supposed to be doing.

Some new snaps to go with it....






All went well. Sunny 70 degree day. With one fan going, temps never went beyond 160. Oil pressure was solid as a rock and the car accelerated, stopped and did everything I asked it to. Hmm...Imagine that?
