OK, although I was the only car ridin' high (there were some scrapers!), I managed to be one of the 800 cars in the West Coast Kustoms cruise in Paso Robles on 5/25. I discovered the Buick (still unnamed with a nickname - any suggestions??) doesn't like slow cruises - I made it up Spring Street about 10 blocks (enough to get a photo taken) and then she wanted to overheat. The 440 mile round trip on highways 101, 680, etc. were nice and cool though!

BTW I just installed a 25 oz. Foster's beer can as my radiator overflow tank - it looks pretty wowzerific! Of course I'm trashed now but the sacrifice was required to stay eco-groovy.

I'm also excited to say that she's now getting 12.5 m.p.g. (up from less than 6 when I got her) - it's still too poor to be a daily driver.
