Drove it like a dream this morning. It's been too long since I've
drive it.
Top up this morning. It will go down this afternoon. Parked next to a
new 5-series BMW. Got a smile and a short conversation with the driver.
With the top up, I hear a lot more noise coming from the rear end.
I've never dealt with that in 7 years. I guess I should look it over.
No shortage of work to do.
Paul.
