    Shame, shame, shame on me. I finally took the time to start my 348 for the first time this year. Shame on me. It started right up. Everything worked OK. The only slight flaws were the fuel gauge fluttered towards empty for a short while but stopped and worked correctly. I could also see some slight fogging on the lenses on the center console gauges. Not sure if that is moisture or a film. Other than that all is OK. I kept putting it off starting and driving it for so long. Today I finally started it and drove it for a dozen or so miles. So I'm happy there are no problems. Hopefully I'll drive it more this summer. I tend to like having two of them in my garage but do not always wish to drive them much. Oh well. They stay clean that way. :) Shame on me.

    Need to change the OEM converters and OEM muffler to converter deletes and a late spider OEM muffler.

    Geez, dude, you need me to come over there and drive a car for you? Ask goth about a new cat/muff set up. That's the way to go. Sure glad the car still works, though if it were my car the battery would have died long ago. :)

    I haven't driven mine in close to 2 weeks for a bunch of reasons and I felt bad about it. This makes me feel better :)

    +1,000,000.

    Sell them to someone who will drive them. :D

    Na, they are your cars so do as you wish, but it is a shame to let them sit for so long. Must have been a blast to be back behind the wheel. :)

    HELL YEAH!! :D:D

    Sometimes I dont drive my car for a few weeks at a time and the VERY first drive afterwards.........makes it all worthwhile having an Italian mistress in the garage. :eek::eek:

    I love my car!! Cant wait to have another Fezza in the garage. :D:D

    I even took the time today to run a ground to my oil tank so my oil temp gauge finally works.

    I really need to wash it and wax it and detail it some to make it super nice.

    No slow down lights so far this year. Last year it was after a few miles one bank would shut down for a while then be OK the rest of that day.

    By the way, your window capacitors worked well on my 90 348. Thanks!
