First drive of the year!

Took my first drive of the year in the Z today.

 

I'd forgotten just how fast it is, but I had a blast even though all I did was take it to the gas station. Had to wait in line for some tourists to clear the pump so the car heated up real good but didn't spew. Once I got to the pump and started filling it one of the tourists I was waiting on ran over and gawked at the Z. Even though it's real ugly right now he was very excited about what I've done to it, feels good to have your work recognized. Then his girl friend walks over and says "But it's so gutted!", to which I replied "It's a race car it's not supposed to have 2 seats". :burnout:Although it will have 2 seats and a full interior, it's just not in yet.

 

On the way home I went around my block and did a small burnout right in front of the neighbor's house. She is uptight about people driving through the gravel on her corner so she came out to see what was going on. By that time I'd already parked in the driveway and was idling the car adding some water to the cooling system. She looked over and gave me a dirty look, I just smiled and continued doing my thing.

 

Anyway it runs great and I think I finally fixed the fuel tank leaks. I'm still planning on an LS1 tank conversion but at least I can Auto-X it in the mean time.

Congrats! It must be nice to finally get it on the road.

 

I just started up my Z for the first time in a year a couple days ago, brought back a lot of memories.
