Re: out to lunch!
The rumble seat passengers sure look wind blasted. So you have done 80 miles the next trip needs to be 180 as so on to get some real road miles and confidence.

Re: out to lunch!
Did the same thing yesterday only in a '27 Chrysler roadster---it's no v-8. Scary drive in heavy traffic! Met up with Tom Moorokian (sp) at a huge show in Punta Gorda Fl. Temps in the low 80's. Not many V-8's. Didn't see GM! Bill
