Ok, after two and a half years and 8800+ miles it is time to redo a few things on the car. Sometimes you think you are doing the right things then learn there is a better way. I won't knock anyone's parts here, but those that know my car, know what parts I am replacing. I ordered a complete Air Ride setup for it today, I have just never been happy with the ride quality of the first setup. Hopefully now long trips like Power Tour and cruising the coast will not be such a grind. We are also changing the seat arrangement so I will have a couple inches head room with the top up. Funny how we never get finished with these cars, I look forward to driving it with the new improvements.

Yes Sir! That is part of the reason for doing all this right now. That way I can ride up in style and comfort. Remember, I drive my junk, trailers are for BOATS!

I'm still debating whether we were really in 1st gear or that was just a slight tugg that the Supercharger put on the engine when you let off the throttle. That was my first time driving a car with a Supercharger on it. I swear I ratched'd that shifter exactly how Bill showed me at the gas station. Never in my life have I ever seen a shifter like that. Or maybe I'm in denial...I don't know. All I know is...thank God that thing had those big brakes on the front. Darrin and I had some spine tingling moments on those steep grades in the Smokies. LOL!!!
