She's been real supportive, but she really likes her new Subaru. Plus, there is a very strange smell in the car. I don't know if it's rat pee or what, but it's not good. The car had sat in a basement for a while, then outside for a while and the mice made a nice home of it. It's getting better, but it hasn't helped that the car has been sitting in a garage while I've been working on it. I think I'm going to have to take a few (dozen) trips in it first to make sure it airs out, not to mention doing a major cleaning to the carpets to try to get the smell out. Ah, the joy.... On another note, I finally got my engine back in today. Why is it I have this overwhelming fear of something going disasterously wrong when I finally get everything hooked up and actually drive it? ===== -------------------------------------------- 1971 FI AT Squareback http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ vw_variant71@yahoo.com -------------------------------------------- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
