The shakedown cruise. Fuel is a lot cheaper in Idaho, in case you're curious. Effectively the car is 'done', though there are a few small things left to do. I'm into it a conservative 80 hours of labor, and the expenses (including acquisition) are a hair under $1000. (Hmm, motor mounts, restoring the AC, and a CLA on the sunroof are still on the list. Maybe not so small. Sigh.) I doubt this is going to make much money for us. Nice looking car, though. That's why I want to drive it to Seattle. That way I get some small ROI for all the TLC before we sell it. And it ought to save us a bit of money if we don't have to buy expensive Washington fuel.
