Drove the car to work today!
Took the Nova to work in Downtown Chicago. About a 60 mile trip one way. The car performed flawlessly on got to to 190*. The engine was running about 3000 rpm at 60 mph. ( waiting on the 4l80e) The only casualty I had was the cover on the top of the Rad came loose. Brakes worked good. The ridetech susp. handled the Indiana toll roads just fine. Sky way was a blast! Came home I fueled up picked up my son TJ and off to a cruise night at Whites Pit Stop. What a day,enjoyed every minute of the time in the car and with my Co pilot TJ.

Glad you could enjoy some quality time with your "Co-Pilot".......good to hear!
(P.S. - I had a close friend, very crazy guy, did lots of silly stuff......used to drive his tomato red Miata year round (yes snow) with the top down and a tomato red moto-cross helmet on with no visor......I am laughing just picturing him!!!)
