Thanks, Dave. A little progress every day.

Been driving Rob's Edelbrock-supercharged FRS while I'm here in Ohio. What a fun car. I filled it up for him since he burned a lot of ga$$ picking me up in Columbus. I knew to put in 93 octane but then Rob told me it is flex-fuel ready and he usually runs e85. I can only imagine. Anyway, nice to drive a first gen FRS that with enough power (and then some) to take advantage of that great chassis. Still sounds agricultural but otherwise a great little coupe.

Might be, and not all that different than the '49 from Rain Man, but I would love to have one in my garage. Perfect for a leisurely Sunday afternoon cruise down the beach.

We had 4 Lotus' from the sixties show up at our cars n coffee meet this morning and we were placing bets on how many of them would start when it was time to leave. They all started perfectly when it was time to leave and of all things a Datsun was the only car that had trouble starting. Just goes to show you ya never know.

Think I will finally go to a Cars and Coffee next Sat for the first time in awhile. The Great Falls one has many high end and interesting vehicles.

Brings back memories as my first car was a hand me down from my Mother, a 1956 Buick Special (hard top convertible, it was called that because it had no "B" pillar.) Red & Black two tone.
