Been busy at the steam show with Chris (sugarmaker) and my 45th class reunion. Last night I stopped at Chris's garage to drop a few things off. Hit the gas pedal once, pulled the choke, hit the starter button and it was running in less than a revolution! I told my wife this thing is going to be a beast when everything is done. Bored&Stroked is exactly right. First drive and you feel like your 17 again. Not much like that happens anymore. M.I.L. suggested last summer (not a car person) that I call a junkyard to take the car away. As we used to say in high school "bite me", ha!
