So you got it for $250? Thats great! Like Bob said, if it was driven recently, you probably don't need to drain the gas. Maybe swap the plugs if it has a hard time starting. If the tires are old, don't take it up too fast... keep 'er down around 40 or so. Don't want to hear about any violent tire failures on your trip home, and that can happen.

Good luck and keep us posted for sure. I've got a hunch you're getting a sweetheart of a car.

Only problem that I sorta forgot about though... Gran Turismo 4 comes out today, and I expect that'll eat up some of your time and money :-) I know it will mine...

As for your 142... I still think you are nuts to be driving it without a booster. If I find one kicking around that might work, I'll send it to you. But I don't think I've got any. The breather... I've never done anything with them. But I might a spare breather around if you need one.
