Default First ride.....What an experience

I took it out on a maiden voyage Sat. I'm nuts first day out 115 miles one way. It behaved well. It was a little squirrely... I have to get the 4 wheel alignment done. I was overheating in traffic but not it idn't as long as I kept moving. The damn fuse went on the electric fan. It was 90+ and it didn't it didn't overheat without a fan!!! The dang car is so loud that I didn't realize the fan wasn't working. I still have some guage issues. My fuel pressure is pegged (15 PSI). It is obviously wrong. My oil PSI is all over the place. It was fine with a mech guage on the stand so I think it's the guage. Tom is working with me on this. We will get it resolved. I did have to drive home at night with no dash lights. That kinda sucked. I used my cell phonbe to check the guages. The car is strong a little scary and loud. It is brutal to drive but fun. I have over 275 miles in one weekend. WooHooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
