Mr. Galen!

Still waking up on the right side of the grass.

I guess if you see me, you saw me! When it's not raining or thinking about it, I'm driving the car.

A new look for 2025. Miz Ruby's alter ego Ms. Rue.

255/60/15s out back on ET 15x7.5 rims and 225/70/14s on 14x6 Ansen rims up front.

Love, LOVE these tires! So quiet compared to the Hankooks! Better handling and a better ride!
Almost no air in the shocks. Rake is from tire diameter and springs.

This weekend I removed the carburetor and gave it a good cleaning. It was time.

Unfortunately, I ran into a snag. The accelerator pump op-rod took flight into another dimension, probably to hang out with everyone's missing 10 mm sockets.
I have a couple parts carburetors coming and maybe I'll build a spare out of them.
Life goes on.
