I drove 16510 a lot this past week without any problems. Monday I drove over 460 miles in one day. Thursday I drove over 230 miles and yesterday I drove about 250 miles. Basically I logged a little over 1000 miles this past week and the sucker starts every time.

Gas mileage ranged between 22 and 29 mpg depending on how I drove the little devil.

I use a 1 gallon zip lock bag. They make great fuel pump boot covers and the local dollar store sells this delorean part in packs for 25 for about $2.

I replaced the spark plugs and air filter.

Decided to strip and paint #5939's fuel tank closing plate. This is going to add at least 20 days before its return to the road (10 coats each side).

Will #5939 make it to DMA FFT'11 or not....

Tooooo hot to drive in miami, with no AC.

Yesterday I finally got my speedometer working again. Earlier this year after the lambda counter started making horrid noises, I decided to order a one piece speedometer cable and eliminate it. I ordered it from PJ Grady, installed it, but unfortunately it did not fix the speedometer. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that the cable itself was really hard to turn. I removed it and cleaned out what appeared to be a little too much grease. Now it turned great. Only it had already taken its toll on the front dustcap. So another new dustcap later, and I'm back in business, with a perfectly smooth working speedometer.

This had better last me until I get the fully electronic one working.

I took my D in for a brake fluid flush and pads. While others I know insist that mere mortals can do their brakes, it requires tools I don't have. Oh and my mechanic says that after my car is fixed, it's the most popular loaner car he has on the lot!

You don't have wrenches and a floor jack?

Tools are usually cheaper than paying even the cheapest mechanic. My mechanic only charges $40/hour but I only use him for really big jobs such as my recent engine swap.

I do my own brake work. I can't remember what I paid for my wrenches, jack stands, and jack but I'm sure it was cheaper than 2 hours of labor.

Edit: It looks like he went up on his labor again. Now its $45/hour. http://batonrougeautorepair.net/
