That's right, i had never taken a ride in a GMC until tonight when Randy and I took marsha's coach for its first test spin.
All the attention was on smells and sounds and gauges but at some point i was able to experience what all the enthusiasm is about. It was remarkably smooth and stuck to the road. Pretty cool.
Anyway, Randy and Margie arrived Wednesday night. Yesterday randy went through the fuel delivery system, changed the carb and got it running smoothily.
Today he went through the brakes. We took a quick spin up the road for gas- ran great, handled great. There were a few leftover fuel delivery problems but I think it's all worked out.
They plan to roll out of here tomorrow.
So who's on I40 that wants to meet the Van Winkles? The coach has no AC. Randy might like a cold drink.

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
