two steps forward...
Finally got my vette out of the garage today. It was like Christmas what with the new sound and extra horses. I got two blocks away and stoped because there was something wrong with the feel. I got our and did a walk around to find that the drivers side brake line had burst. A nice littel puddle on the road and a less than triumphant return to the garage. I didnt even get it warm enough to have to torque things down again.
Oh well there's always tomorrow

You know what? I actually like those little things that break. They are things that will break no matter what, and I'm glad they do it on a test drive and not when you're on a date, out with friends, or showing off at a show.
Not to mention, it gives me an excuse to pick up some tools and get dirty.
So, take it positively, and you'll look forward to your next baby step out of the garage.
Good luck.

Careful, or your wife will go out and cut your brake lines.
