    Is it normal that everything is working? Somethings going to give....It's running too good. Too fast. Too smooth. Too yellow. Too awesome........I'm bracing myself. Is a piston going to shoot through the crankcase and hit and kill an innocent pedestrian? I'm worried.

    Mine too. I'm concerned. It's best to leave it in the garage rather than risk the lives of the innocent. Still...Saturday looks like a perfect day...

    210 miles top down in the last 7 days and having a blast. These vehicles will always need minor tuning or maintenance; parked or not.

    Just Drive

    Then maybe you dont drive it enough........

    Thats what happens with me, I go for about 4 months without touching her and when I go for the next drive Im worried too. But when I drive her every 3-4 days for a few weeks straight I seem to push her further and further and find out that she's god dam strong and can handle a lot.

    Be worried if you dont drive so much, and enjoy driving her heaps.

    I would accept the car as a present in order to help you stop with your problems... Enjoy your car and don't let ghosts worry you

    Come out to Sac tomorrow morning, mpodgor, and we can go for a drive together. I'm sure that just having your car NEAR mine will cause some of my gremlins to hop over to yours, if that'll make you feel better. ;)

    ...And yes, I'm serious. Come on over and I'll show you some gorgeous foothill roads. :)

    Update, something did go horribly wrong. I removed the ashtray panel from the center console (to put in my HVAC control panel with the new overlay applied) and two chunks fell off from the right side where the mirror control switch is located. Super glued it together but cracks are visible. What the hell is next?

    Sounds like you need some driving therapy. You should come up and join us some Saturday. I make the trek from San Jose twice a month.

    The car is Legit. I have the ungodly maintenance receipts to back it up. But I'm addicted to this car. Good thing I don't do crack. I couldn't afford two bad habits.

    Finally, you can relax. Nothing else will go wrong until at least tomorrow, probably.
