Yesterday I thought about driving it to work, but the rear right tire was a little flat, it has a nail or something. And other excuses made me go to the daily driver.<br><br>I filled the tire last night, and got the tonneau on ready for this morning. I look at the weather channel app and its 45F, perfect. Traffic was a little heavy, because Minnesotans can't merge. But otherwise, a wonderful drive in. I think I have a air leak in the carbs somewhere, it just doesn't want to idle in the cold. <br><br>So first drive and the list gets longer for things that want attention. New tires (10 years old), steering rack is vague, carbs seem to leak. And the body work I've ignored for 10 years.<br></div><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a ymailto="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
