The car's a beast with the head on it. Needs a re-tune to fix some issues below 4000 RPM. Above 4000 RPM, it pulls like a Clydesdale on crack all the way to redline (only 6700 on the auto). And at 3000 RPM and WOT in 6th, it grumbles like a V-8. Righteous.

Starting to think about my spring detail... only 9 weeks 'til MOTD.

Well there goes the irony.....

Warm temps are welcome there's still a fair bit of "return to stock" work left.

Lol...dang, I sold all my LP's in my younger yrs.

Hell, now I'm thinking I should keep the cassette. I have my nakamichi somewhere too... I should 'dub' some MP3's I have ('dub' is short for dubbling or copying from another cassette or LP for you silly young folk who only know what rip means. For us older folks, 'rip' means farting loudly or with expression ).

Just stare at him until he wakes up. That usually works with Dave.
