^ sounds like its pretty frugal on gas. Dr. B might like to borrow it for the summer.
Have you had it out on the highway? What kind of speeds can the car get up to? I'm assuming it is quite fast as it won at Lime Rock back in the day.

I don't think it's that fast. It has a 4.55 rear end that is good for pulling stumps.
I've had it up to about 50 on the local State highway. It seems to run easy enough at 50, but maybe with a bit of steering drift. Not sure that is my imagination or real, and if it is real, whether it is the ball joints or the bias ply tires.
From the garage floor, it looks like I have 4 or 5 oil leaks that I need to chase, plus a leak in the cooling system.

How is everyone making out with the nor’easter?
woke up expecting rain but there was about 6” on the ground. Made it in to work though and it wasn’t too bad of a commute except for a few white knuckle drivers. Should be another 5 or 10 on the ground by the time I get home per the weather peeps.

Had about 14" of cement in the driveway this morning. Took a full tank of gas and about 2 hours to clear it. Wish I could convince Ellen to move next year after we retire.
A friend of mine south of here had to clear 24". Said he had 3'-4' drifts in his driveway.
