Fluids. Friend of mine built his rat rod and didn't put oil in the differential. Made it about 20 miles before he remembered it. Put some oil it in and all was good but could have just as easily been very bad.

if all that doesn't work, make sure you have a new pair of shoes.
I am in the same boat as you next week. I was going to first drive down the street where we have a very large and newly paved parking lot for a train system. It is abandoned on weekends. I was going to use the lot to properly test stopping and acceleration before doing any tests in real traffic.
I am shocked no one has asked for pics of your "voyager"! What year? Any pics?
