Geez Richard!! What a mess - the Roadster is not good either! What

Hey Peter,
Glad to hear you had a good trip. I left Atlanta on Tuesday Nov 20th.
By Saturday the 24th I had put 3500 miles on the car with no problems.
Drove to SE Arizona then on to Salt Lake City. I hear you about not
illuminating elk. On the trip back from SLC, about midnight on Saturday
I found out first hand.

I had just gassed up and was getting ready drive through the Salt River
Canyon under a full moon with no traffic. Plans changed.
Borrowed a car & dolly to get the roadster home. Looks like I have a
new autocross car. Oh, and I have not cleaned the patina from the car
yet.
