Thanks, RJ. Yes, it's nasty and lumpy. Wants to GO. I feel like the pied piper driving around town with the car alarms. Blip-blip. Blip-blip.

Almost peed my pants when I first fired it up!

I'm laying off for another 300-400 miles.

I drove it home from Spring Grove. Only one small, easily-corrected leak at the tranny cooler line. No other leaks. Ran at 160 degrees, went up 10-15 more in rush hour in Philly. Got about 17 mpg? (700R4, 2.73, staying off the gas pedal)

Thanks-

-Todd
