Thanks, guys. It's a great car. I'm on top of fluids and check those and brake lines, etc at every fill up. The car eats a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so, which I can live with. Runs like a champ once it's warmed up. Yes, it's loud on the freeway, but it's such a lot of fun to drive -- and the sound of those two carbs sucking air when the throttle is open is like nothing else.

I'll be gentle on the gas till it warms up and keep it at around 70 mph. Anything else?

Thanks!
