I got it out and drove thirty miles in rush hour traffic at highway speeds to go get my front end aligned last night. It ran really well but temps climbed to 220 on the highway even though air temperature was only 78 degrees. That concerns me a little especially when it starts getting really hot later in the summer. They say that Evans waterless coolant is supposed to run a little hotter, so we will see.On the way home I went through the city, stop light to stop light, and the temps stayed right around 200 degrees.
The alignment went fine. The car drives nice and straight and the steering wheel is centered once again. No more pulling to the right. I slipped my buddy Adam a $50 bill and the shop manager warranteed it for me because they had done the alignment 5 years and 200 miles ago!
I called Shawn and asked if my hood was ready and he said that he was filling pin holes in the fiberglass scoop and that it would be painted last night. I told him I don't want to be putting on a hood with wet paint Friday night as I'm trying to detail the car.
