When I finally got the choke set where it would hold an idle (after 4 restarts, haha) those solid lifters were chattering around in there like popcorn popping...

I think it was finally all warmed up, and running "normally" about 20 minutes later (halfway through my 20 mile drive)

I got to work just as the footboxes were finally getting warm enough to thaw out my feet

I loved every minute of it.

There was some other crazy fool on the freeway in a convertible MustangGT... as we sat next to each other in traffic, we just exchanged that casual glance that simply stated: "Yes, we are both morons..."
