Got a little video of the nasty little thing out for a leisurely cruise.

About halfway through the video she started running a little rough (hard to tell in the video, but I noticed it immediately). When I parked the car, I discovered that one of the Wire Holders broke and dropped 2 plug wires directly onto the exhaust, an easy fix.

I didn't try to break the tires loose, but they did bark a bit from time to time (29x15.5-15" Mickeys with a Spool). Toward the end, I was dreading shifting back into gear, because of rowing into neutral and feathering the throttle to keep the idle up.

On the plus side she's all fixed now, new plug wires and extra wire holders to make sure this doesn't happen again.
