Thumbs up Rough begining but a damn fine finish!!!

Mine did not start out well. I had purchased my car from a gentleman in Michigan in the dead of winter so I was not able to drive it at that time. When I went to look at the car the owner had given me a full briefing on the car but by the time the car showed up here a couple of weeks had passed. After the guy from Intercity drove it off the truck and was gone I got in the car, started it and sat there waiting for it to warm while soaking up the sounds and sensations. After about two minutes the car died. Took me about 30 seconds to remember the electric fuel pump switch. Started the car again and continued to warm it, realized I forgot something, shut it down and went inside. Got back in the car and turned the key but nothing happened. I sat there for about two minutes trying all manner of things before I remembered the neutral lockout. Once I got going though it was a great day. I drove a route that would take me around the area along the winding back roads. The weather was great and I was driving a car I had always wanted since I was a kid.
