Well, after waiting for four days to pickup the car after an inspection, fluid change, and tune-up, I had to haul the trailer down to Northridge to get the car, as I could not find anybody to give me a ride this morning, so I could drive it home.
Anyway, here's a few pictures of my first fill-up (Haig only left me .25 of a tank), and my first trip in the car, Oxnard to Ojai and back.

I just have to get use to not being able to see around/over other cars like I can in the truck. The car felt good at 120 (~75mph). I guess I'll have to put little bits of tape for 20, 30, 40mph..... to mark the appropriate kph, I wouldn't want to get a ticket now, would I?

Wonderful car !!
Congradulations !!
Have to ask if it has the 5.12 rear end in it. Here's a pic of my 1600 S at speed. Much lower revs.
