All the troubles were nothing over the fun I had and places to see in an "A".

Also saying no to the T-5 upgrade as I really enjoyed the driving and double clutching, the gear sound winding up is a great part of an “A”.
Sure was fun to take some old "junk" down the road. Hope it motivates a few to get out there. I'll keep you updated for the next trip!

Let us know what you figure out the mechanical problem (s) were when you get a handle on that. This was an inspirational read. Time for a road trip.
