Actually, the trip was about 900 miles but close enough...

My daughter and I left left Thursday for Columbia Falls, MT near Glacier Park. About 50 miles out the car started missing when I gave it the gas so I just sort of babied it in. Had it looked at by a mechanic and he adjusted the points, checked for bad gas, etc. Said it had gotten out of timing. Anyway, I played golf and didn't worry about it. After all, this is a vacation, dammit!!

Took the car for a spin to double check things. Still missing so now I'm trying to figure out what to do. 4th of July weekend is in full swing, mechanics are know where to be found. I started fiddling with it and discovered a spark plug wire that had been attached but not thorouhly snapped on. Re-attached the wire and the car ran perfect!! Even got 18+ MPG on the return trip!!

Daughter and I had a great trip, lots of memories, lots of pics, (I'll post them on my site in next day or two) and even shot some pretty good golf. Now its back to work to pay for all this

Happy 4th to everyone!!!

 

Thank you for driving that Sting Ray !!!
