Thanks so much for the info! Luckily the HVAC seems to work very well in the car, so hopefully the weather shouldn't hinder my travel too much. Too bad the car didn't come with a traffic removal button on the dash..

Today's weather is keeping me from getting the engine cleaned up, but from my quick look over it this morning it is in dire need of a good cleaning. I'll have to wait to get home before tackling that.

The ride in this car is more solid than dad's SDL. I'm going to chalk that up to some refreshed components, as you suggested. The SDL is certainly more 'stately' on the road due to the wheelbase, but I'm looking forward to a long cruise in this car tomorrow.

I'll definitely look into the fuel sending unit. I had the same problem in my 911 and it was easily remedied by cleaning the unit. I haven't gone through the car much yet, where is the first aid kit?
