1. I had to pry off the locking gas cap so now I need a need gas filler thingie and a cap
2. The damned AUX tank still leaks grrrrrrrr.
3. The drive home was fun (50 miles), but every time I went over 60 or so the front end bounced like I was driving down a grated gravel road. (suspension is less than 2 y/o)
4. The dashboard vibrates so much that it is freakin blurry.
5. Any time the vacuum get below 5 in/hg I either have massive detonation or a huge exhaust leak.
6. The windshield has a gigantic crack in it
7. Bolts on the starter were loose, dunno about that one.

Well at least it is at home in my garage for the first time in who knows how many years, time for the TLC to begin.

Don't feel so bad, when my car was delivered the first thing i did was run to the gas station, filled it, only to find the damn aux tank had cracked from age. tried to empty the tank but thats when i found out there were two tanks and gas ran all down the driveway and down the road! Oh, i had a firefighter living down the hill as well. fumes were soo bad, people walking thir dogs wondered WTF was going on!!!!! talk about embarassing!
