[Orange Krate]

It was Christmas Day and my wife and I decided to sneak out of the house given all the usual racket, and take a spin in the freshly detailed Orange Krate. We were gone about 1 hour and made a circuit from home to the San Fernando Valley down to Van Nuys and across on the 101 Freeway north to Thousand Oaks and back home to Simi Valley over Route 23. We had a good time and at first my wife said "she fills a little rough." She was referring to the idle. I told her it was because the car had been sitting, it was cold and the fact is the engine is still tighter then heck! Orange Krate now has about 450 miles on the odometer and after running down the highway for a few minutes the car settled right out and laid down nicely. It is truly a pleasurable car to drive and when you test the accelerator pedal this car really is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. What a personality! As usual, today there were yet more people trying to egg Orange Krate into a road race!!! What is up with people? Get this... a white custom 2010 Landrover, a 2008 Mustang, and another 2007 BMW... all trying to tempt Orange Krate into wasting fuel and reputation! HA HA Ain't gonna happen. We got home just in time and got Orange Krate tucked away as it started to rain AGAIN!!! I also got a claybar kit today and already finished the hood! It looks and feels fan-flippin' tastic!!!
