Default Stretched her legs......

I finally got a chance to get her out and stretch her legs this afternoon. First time since I got her that I’ve been able to get it up to a nice cruising speed!

She still has a ways to go but she’s getting there.

Gorgeous car and glad you got out to enjoy. On the other hand, I was disappointed. I read the title of your post and thought it was going to be something dirty!

Nice clean looking car! The color makes me thirsty for root beer. It doesn't look like you have all that far to go to me.
