BTW, Clearbrook Treatment Centers are a sponsor, but there is no known cure for automotive addiction.

Welcome! You certainly do have some great roads out that way, one of my favorite trips went through Red River Gorge Scenic Byway just north of you.

The cherohala skyway at 3AM on a full moon is pretty sweet. I kept a ski boat on santeetla for years.... before the dragon was 'famous'.... back when grandma fixed your sandwich in tapoco. horse cove at the entrance to Joyce Kilmer is worth the extra few miles past the tree of shame.



I only have a few hundred miles on her so far.... cooling system needed attention... which is all sealed up and ready for a flush and fill w/pentosin. The plug on the hall sensor was brittle, and the cell flash code concurred, that this would be the first electronic jewelry she would need.



with the cooling leaks addressed, on to the hemorrhaging of dextron. Looks like somebody bled out on the garage floor. A jigabillion man hours of cleaning shows the top leak to be the cool*ss unibtanium clear top reservoir seam.... then the cooler return line. The arnnworks method worked and the pans can go back on.



belts are healthy for now..... the car came from the Midwest so not much ozone depletion of the rubber things..... they fail the time not the mileage parameter. Cam pads are in post.. barely a thumb catch on the top pad but definitely showing 90k. Fresh BradPenn 20w/50 with a mahle to wrestle out of the hole next time. Ferry would never design anything that way))



it takes a few miles to get her loosened up... parking on a rug shortens the time but a bit of a whir from the torque tube but the brakes and bearings can be a winter thing... she tracks true and straight. The suspension sounds like my old knees after running the fat trail and the steering fluid hasn't been so nice to a couple things. I have had a few 914's... some concourse and one stroker 2.4....fun stuff. Kept a 72 911t to tinker on along with those nasty tin worms... not to sound like a high school chick, the sound of a mechanical injected air cooled 6 is my favorite sound ever.... on the road....a 454 on the water runs a close 2nd.
