After over 6 months of not having my beloved Ruby RedHot, she is finally back! She went to a friend's house so he could replace her seals and gaskets and repair her badly cracked oil pan. I never realized I would miss driving a 4-speed til I got her back a couple weeks ago. She's bogging when I accelerate in first (I'm thinking she needs new points and condenser), but other than that she runs great! There was a crisis involving a wildfire last weekend where I had to pack her with my unreplaceables (like photos, documents, etc.) and enough room for two rambunctious dogs and a couple cat carriers, but fortunately the fires didn't get to my neighborhood, in spite of mandatory evacuations. Hopefully I will be able to show her next year. I miss taking her to the car shows!
