Driving Update

As you all probably read, I've been having fun driving the gold Midget since last summer. So, here's a running report:



ItemStatus
Running:Yes. Surprised?
Cold starts:Easy
Heat (summer):Unequaled
Heat (winter):No
Air flow:Right inside
Noise:eh?
Radio:No. See Noise above
Oil consumption:Up through the pump and out the exhaust pipe without changing form
Reliability:I've made it to each destination and back home, so far...
Power:Excellent
Handling:Excellent
Top speed:Unknown because...
Speedometer:Broken
Windscreen wipers:Ha!
Water leaksAplenty
Jealous gazes from other motorists:Yes.
Sympathetic gazes from other motorists:Yes.
Enthusiastic waves from children:All the time

Anyway, you get the picture. It's been a lot of fun, but looming on the horizon is another trip back to the mechanic. I fear the rings aren't going to seat and that's why the oil spews out the tailpipe.
