Today,
I drove it to the post office to mail card just to get it out. Saw a couple of new Corvettes out on the road.
Thought about what I need to do it, and if the car was running and it wasn't snowing out, I'd be out riding.

Installing new window motor (a good way to learn about the inside of the door and about treating minor lacerations) but the window is jumping a rail at the bottom of its travel. So the window came out (again) to check the placement of the glass. Can only see one etched dimple, which means it has moved about 1/2 inch towards the front of the car. But happy to have a symptom to fix.

Big day for me today! I took the D out for its maiden voyage. That was its first time actually on the road since I got it.
The insurance paperwork finally arrived, which coincided with all the fuel lines being replaced, so I couldn't wait any longer, and out the gate I went.
Nothing prepared me for the experience. It all kicked off when I went to get petrol, two people wander over and start asking about it. Just about everyone you pass on the road was checking it out; I was terrified someone would bump into me while not paying attention to their driving.
How the hell do you long-time owners cope!!

Started scraping off the powdered foam and old adhesive from the headliner backers. Not quite sure how deep to get into this as the backer seems to be MADE of this red glue. The surface has to be prepped if anything's ever going to stick to it again though....
