Sorry. Still waiting on my # to come up to be able to participate in the thread the right way, this is all I have for now. Hopefully I can join for real by summer.

Keep 'em coming though.


EDIT:

900 miles. Need to get 600 more before tracking it this weekend. The dealer had it all weekend due to a coolnat leak, oil change and trans service. Lucky to have caught the coolant leak while at the deater.
Haven't gone to redline yet in this one - a little paranoid...lol
