Rita needed a coat today
We're running low on vehicles here do to the deer population committing suicide using my vehicles, so Kari had to take Rita out of hibernation to go to work. Good thing the heater works well. I don't regret the fuel injection on cold mornings.

Ain't it nice to know that your hot rod is reliable enough to be a daily driver that you don't mind trusting to get your wife safely around town? That's the way to build 'em.
I know a guy that has tons of money in his ride and can't take it more than a few miles from home for fear that it will take a dump somewhere. I could literally build 3 or 4 really nice cars for what he has in his. That might be ok for some folks, but not me. It's got to be a car first and a hot rod second.
You did a good job on that one.Mike

Thanks for the compliments guys! You hit the nail on the head with the reliability being a key factor in having fun with it. Don't kid yourself though, I have a few buck tied up in this one too.

Unfortunately, that's the nature of the beast, but cubic money spent doesn't always add up to a good car. Really good drivers cars are actually kind of rare, at least in my experience.

And it is a really good looking ride! The reliability you've built in is a mark of a craftsman. Congrats.
