Tonight is the night, I plan on taking her for her decent test run to work. Its about 18 miles 1way. Saturday is cruise night over in jacksonville which is about 30ish miles 1way so I want to take small steps before jumping right in and having any problems. I have a gallon of water an extra quart of tranny fluid and a quart of oil. I also have a small tool kit and my bag of zip ties and a roll of twine just incase it starts raining real bad and I have to "presidentually solution" my wipers so I can driver her.. I still dont really have wipers yet so I rainx'ed the heck out of the windshield so hopefully I wont have any probs...

Woooooooo Hoooooooo, well the first part of the test run is over and she did fine. My speedo is off by about 10mph and I only ran her about 50 the whole way. There was some shake once she got close to 50 but 1 of the tires is diff from the rest and I have no clue how old the shocks are, other than that all there was was the norm rattles and squeeks these old things have...
