Maintenance this weekend is to MY spirit.
I have a friend in NY that totaled his Ford GT and had Roush (in Allen Park Mi) 
rebuild it.  Basically a tub replacement, so the car is now completely hand 
built by the people that did the construction of all the prototype and 
development cars. (Probably the most knowledgeable about this car)
Dave asked me to test the car over the weekend and find anything that needs 
correcting. He will fly in to pick up the car in two weeks.
 I'm having a ball with this thing, except it has rained some time every day I 
have had it.  This car is the most ballanced nimble and fastest thing I have 
ever been in.  And driveable in traffic.  The brakes are more impressive than 
acceleration , and this thing has 600 dyno horsies pushing it around. (more 
boost) and a few other upgrades that he doesn't talk about much.
The folks that can afford these cars don't worry about warranty.  Nor do they 
worry about some silly line racer getting over his head.  So, its not raining 
yet so I'm gonna go give my neighbor a ride.

Oh this is almost as good as a salt fix.
