Last week I pulled the Silver out of a three year slumber. Faithful beast started right up. New fresh full tank of California expensive premium, full hand wash and wax, tire pressure check, warm up, and easy roll around town. Freeway for thirty minutes, then off to California smog check.
No CA SMOG problems or issues as noted in previous other threads.
Smog place was fairly busy, and as always, I warned the smog tech to be very careful as the silver has no blemishes, so I walked him around the car before he got into it. I also warned him the tech that the Silver is a little "jumpy" from its' long slumber.
He drove it around into the back bay and the entire waiting roomed noted when they extended rev'ed it, and all looked over at me. I just smiled. When they opened the hood, the tech called over every other tech and they walked a conga line around the Silver.
When they finished and pulled it out front, the guys all followed the car outside into the sun, still surrounding it. Again, the waiting room folks all looked over at me.
The office manager came in and said, The guys all love your car!
Next week, I am bringing the black out of a six year slumber. Have to tow it to mechanic to change out the fuel pump, and drain all the gas. After, I will wash, wax, and repeat all above.
I am now ready to rejoin the Marauder community!
I am sorry it has been so long.
