Fun post! I know exactly what you are saying. When I drive my westy around town it is the same thing. constant rolling and movement rather than speeding to the next stop! Isn't it fun to watch those who scream past you sitting right in front of you for the next several lights! Deno
Yes it is! I have turned this into l;ife economics lesson, on days I drive my daughter to school. There are lot of 100K looking Porsche in this town (LV). Invariably, we will play light to light with a "100K" car. so figuring a 100K miles to total repair 1 /mile plus outrageous insurance and the registration is a road tax with a 100K basis Yeow! Figure 2- 3 dollars per mile in that Porsche .. Schwin has 1500+200+400 about 2K into her. If I only got 20K miles to complete repair thats 10 cents/mile. I like to choose math problems with factors of ten and easy divisors, as we are driving not plinking on calculators.
Side note, my youngest daughter is responsible for us Owning Schwin. I got a
3AM call (about 5 weeks pre 9/11) in Singapore. Out of the ordinary for sure. My daughter had found this "cute bug" and as the owner we leaving Las Vegas, she had to move fast. The seller did wait till I returned to complete the deal. what I didn't know would fill... Muirs book! We were lucky. Post 9/11 my "international-electronics" business went to shit... till about 4 months ago! during that time I had lots of "free" time and the pulled all the pieces that didn't belong onto her and went to a pick a part for a box of goodies. followed by a CV joint repair kit, followed by.... till this weekend's original distributor restoration.
BTW, the correct dizzy will make you engine spin as it should. For me getting rid of the 009 was a good thing, as the dead spot at the middle of gear 2 is gone!
