Default RE: Newbie from Indianapolis

I don't think my car is show quality but i may definately try to come and see the show. I would love to see your convertible up close. What time does it start? I brought my car two weeks ago when i first got it to the Suds and Buns in Greenwood on a Saturday. I did not get there until right before dark so being a first timer there i parked in the back (only place left to park) jumped out opened my hood and started browsing around looking at other cars. Sunday morning i noticed my drivers side rear center cap was missing from my American Racing rim. It was on when i pulled up because i looked my car over before i walked away from it just to see how it looked from a distance sitting there. My wife and i were engaged in conversation when we went back to get in and leave so i didn't notice.

The driver side was facing the back side away from the lot but there was a couple of cars against the fence with their owners sitting right there looking at my car. I know it was one of them or that at least they had to see someone kneel down and remove (5) screws. Anyway, Sunday morning when i told my wife it was missing, she immediately said that when we went to get in our car that they started laughing but she did not think anything about it and i was talking to her and i didn't even notice. It's just a center cap and i had to order one and screws for for $32 including shipping but that's not the point. I was so mad Sunday morning! I believe what goes around comes around and i hope their car burns to the ground.

As far as bringing my car down to the show Saturday, until i get me a 3:55 rear end in this car i want to stay off the interstate. When i drove it down to Greenwood two weeks ago the rpm's were high and i was only doing a constant 55 and it made me feel uncomfortable. I have a manual valve body transmission in this car.
