Default first show/parade

over the weekend i took my 77 to its first show/parade. Left friday drove 4 hours and of course it rained. Got up saturday and ther was a large river of power steering fluid coming from under the car. You guessed it the the org pump had failed. so i filled it up with fluid and took it anyways. At the show i kicked a rag under the car to catch the fluid. THere was 40 or so of every type of car there but mine was the most popular. I did get a honorable mention trophy and had a great time driving through the parade. I left the car in my parents garage and am going back this weekend to fix it.

Thought i would share my experience.
