Lousy Monday morning. I got up, finally got the darn Coupe to start and took it down to the engine builder who does my engines. I am having that crappy computer and fuel injection unit replaced with a carb set up as the computer is so messed up the car is getting worse all the time. Then just as I was turning onto the street to his shop the right rear tire must have hit something as it blew up so loud all the traffic stopped. Only thing left on the rim was the outside and inside beads. I had to drive it about 100 yards as slow as I could to his shop as there was no place to pull over in that traffic. Wheel is most likely ruined as it bent two places on the inner rim. I told Bill to keep the car as long as he needs and it probably will be gone for at least 6 months as I told him to just work on it as he has some spare time. He is going to call the wheel company and see if he can get a new wheel or if they can repair that one. The good thing was I was only doing about 20 MPH in that traffic. I will be so happy to have that computer and fuel injection gone and a carb that I understand it will be like a new car.
