I've been biulding a shed to get everything out of the garage and off the patios. The car was moved first to my son's garage then to a friends . I got my garage cleared and made preperations to bring the car home. I was surprised at how much about the little things like where I insert the key I had forgotten. It came back to me in a hurry. I had no windsheild on the car so I wore a helmet. The helmet is full faced but I'll bet everyone within a block could see me smileing. Saturday morning about 10:30 from Fife on I-5 to S 74th in Tacoma. Two fender benders on I 5 made the trip allmost a crawl. The car has a speed it doesn't like and that was it. Idle is fine ,accelerating is great. Trying to carry the car at just above an idle doesn't work.the car starts surging . Back in my garage . Not much experience wearing a helmet. It's a lightweight carbon fiber DOT approved .The car and helmet tested my neck muscles . Still futsing with the details on the shed, I still have things to do on the car. I have to find the people to do them. Last summer got away from me. I knew I didn't know much about doing uppholstery, now I know I also am not a painter. The uppholsterer that I had planned on is now booked through next year.
