I used an auto pilot for the first time last night on the freeway. I got really excited and interrupted my conversation to crow about it. They always seem to be inoperative on the cars that I have seen in the past, so this was a biggie!
Besides 3 bad window motors and the clock, absolutely everything works as new in the car. It's very thrilling to drive, and I am elated. The car is whisper quiet, so very smooth, and comfortable.
Other Imps that I've been in have a characteristic "torsion bar shake" to the suspension as the car navigates potholes. More of a harmonic vibration that is subtle but noticeable if you pay attention. This car does not demonstrate such shake, and feels new in almost every way. Probably a combo of tight suspension and the new bias ply tires.
The weather here has been downright rotten. I'm waiting for the weekend to finish polishing and waxing it before doing a photo-spread. I woudn't want to have a "wardrobe malfunction" and have things seen that should be taken care of first...
Once done with final cleaning, I'll drive the car somewhere with a nice backdrop and take some pictures. Maybe the crest of the hill where the Rice-a-Roni cable car comes over the crest with Alcatraz in the background? Let's hope that the sun comes out that day.
I am in heaven!
I invite anybody that's interested over for a ride (maybe even some seat time behind the wheel!). That's a standing invite.
