Hip... Hip... Hooray...!

Hi Y'all...

Today is the day, RedBird had her Nasty oil changed.  Whoot, whoot, whoot!

It was thought that her drain plug was cross threaded since it wouldn't loosen, and because of that the long delay happened.  But it was not cross threaded, just tightened way too much.  We are so happy!

I was concerned because I was hearing engine noises I thought I shouldn't hear.  I finally asked Greg if he would suggest someone, and he told me about Pete that has worked on his Z.  (Thank you SO MUCH Greg.)  Well, if good enough to work on his Z, that was recommendation enough for me.  

Anyone think you can feel the car driving smoother?  I swear she is.  Enough so that I drove the long way home, and for a while pushed her close to 85.  I'd never driven her that way, again was thinking of the gunky oil.  So this was to flush the new oil thru and thru everwhere,

One more milestone behind us.

Thank you everyone, I have a wonderful running car thanks to you,

Jai

Good news.  Now you can start thinking about modifying.  85 mph is just a start.

I'm positive that my engine is smoother and has more power after I wash the car.  The transmission also shifts better and the radio is clearer.  Strange but true.  Not sure how it works.

Dear one, you forget, I'm 73.  I don't know how much more fast is in me!  

Unfortunately social security prevents me from doing mods.  I just need to get all the basic stuff taken care of so we can fly into maturity together!

Next biggy to save for is a new clutch.  See?

Have a great evening all....

Mine runs better after I wash it. 

EDIT: Just read Zed Head's post, I agree with him.  I know how much better I feel after a good shower.

To answer both of you.  I was thinking about the "driving better" last night.  You know, I'm convinced that it has something to do with the atoms,  at the molecular level.  Making the cars so slick they just part the air before them as they go.  Deep subject!

You know at the "sight unseen" level.            Snicker...

My reputation precedes me. 

There's a song called "Long Haired Country Boy" that's written about me.  Me and Charlie are tight.
