Damm snow needs to go away.  I'm looking to get mine out of the farmer's barn soon.  I need to:

Man, you ain't kiddin'.  I gotta get new sneakers for mine as well.  Horns, wipers, tranny fluid, dash cover has to be reattached, center console, lube suspension and get 500 miles on it so I can retorque the heads.  That's has got to be 2 maybe 3 days worth of work.

Daaang....youse guys werk FAST!   That's at least a 2 year project.....

Got it out Saturday morning.  Sitting over the winter months filled with Bounce dryer sheets sure make it smell sweet....no mice!  It was on the jack stands mid-morning for ceramic brake pads and to flush the brake fluid.  It's already been 10 years since I did the sleeved/O ringed calipers.  While changing the oil I noticed another power steering hose was leaking.....that one is "only" 11 years old.  I guess if I sold my cars faster I would never have to do the same repair twice.  I adjusted the steering box but need to drop a "glob" of grease inside it still.

When was the last time you "dropped the spare" and checked air pressure?  The absence of any air I guess could be called....airless? 

I dropped mine and it looks horrible.  Need to get a new one although when am I gonna change a tire?  I've got AAA! I just need to get mine to the transmission shop.  It doesn't want to shift into 3rd at all and will only shift into second if I make a long slow increase in speed.  I'm hoping it's just the vacuum line to the modulator but if it's something more I'll be paying for a new tranny.

Last night on "Wheeler Dealers" they purchased a Porsche Boxer for $1,000 with a bum tranny that would not upshift in the automatic mode.  They changed the oil and filter and it ran perfect!!  I figure the oil must have been low in the trans.Good Luck$$$$$

Nothing better then the pressure of a road trip prep to force one to get the list of things to do .....done. I've wanted to hook up an amp on the rear speakers for 20 yrs......done! I was wanting to change out the left rear wheel bearing which is still original but the locals that will do it on the car are tied up or live an hour away and need the car for a few days. With travel schedules between my wife and I that's not gonna happen. I might crawl under it again and replace a few original U-joints. What are you doing for prep?

My prep consits of washing last weekend and hopefully waxing next weekend. Oh, and packing! Looking forward to meeting you and others! Most of my prep went into the car before going to the South Carolina gathering two years ago
