Fingers crossed. You deserve a break.

Thanks guys! I got it done way ahead of schedule- it's amazing what a warm weekend will motivate someone to do! Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to actually drive it last night as it was dark and my brake lights for some reason aren't working. Hopefully this weekend as I am CA bound for the week.

Well, I already have more miles on "this" engine than I did the last one-- and that ain't saying much cuz I drove it about 5 miles today to run errands. Seems to be running pretty good and in my 2 stops already got 3 gawkers/talkers. How I missed driving it!

Weather is supposed to be 68 and sunny today ?

Sounds like perfect weather for a long shake down cruise.

Go get em !

I think that's exactly what i needed to do to shake my luck. Bad luck has been on my side so oddly enough maybe I channelled the monster.

Go break some mirrors and cross the paths of several black cats as well. Can't hurt.
