well, the car liked the 110 leaded I gave it.
today I found out what that fuel does to gas mileage.
Took this while I was waiting for a buddy to bring me gas so I could make it the rest of the way to college.
Still got a lot to do. Been a bit difficult finding 2 cycle oil to mix for the saws. After 4 different stores and not finding any, finally broke down and bought over priced ore-mixed
Things keep getting harder to find.

Apparently a car with a distributor is hard to find to use for the lesson on oscilloscopes. Mine was the only one he could find out of all of the automotive students in all of his other classes.
We need to use it next week for the hands on final as well.
Idled for about an hour no problems and got to 190. mucho perfecto
If it was a 4-speed you'd be completely out of time.

oh yeah. I'm not the best at it but at least I can drive in traffic with a manual and powershift alright
My first car was a 3- on- the- tree Plymouth. Finicky back then. Modern manuals are far advanced. Good skill. It makes you pay attention to the car
Went out and fixed the oil leak on my riding mower. Damn briggs crap easy drain. Makes a huge mess when it leaks. 3/8” x4” pipe nipple and a coupler with a plug. Done. So one more aggrivation almost fixed. Have to clean up tractor.
I never drove an automatic until I got married. Now my two classics I have one four speed and one automatic.My first car was a 3- on- the- tree Plymouth. Finicky back then. Modern manuals are far advanced. Good skill. It makes you pay attention to the car
She says she just likes to ride shotgun...haha!!
My first car was a 63 Chevy SS Impala but it was an automatic. Bought the car before I was of age to drive it and I never did. I sold it. First car I drove with a driver's license was a 65 barracuda 273 4-speed car. Loved that car. But I rolled it on the Washington beltway in the rain one day on my way to work at the asphalt plantMy first car was a 3- on- the- tree Plymouth. Finicky back then. Modern manuals are far advanced.

Should start a thread on the "Demise of your first car(s)"
