Man how a few moments can impact a consideration

So I moved from MA > VT a couple of years ago and whe I left MA I was in the middle of working on a cheap '85 300D....yes I know no such thing....anyhow I dragged the car up here on a trailer and put in my garage literally a couple of years ago. I hadn't run the engione in about 3 years. I was cleaning my garage, pulled the dusty old gal out of the bay, jump started it and it imeediately went right to that musical idle. I had been recently thinking baout throwing in the towel and selluing it but jeez...now I'm bnot so sure....it has no fuel lines or exhaust and it literally started after turning over about 8 times....I pumped the hand pump first and then I was like oh what the hell I'll try starting it.......thumpa thumpa thumpa vroom!!!!

Too bad I start a new M-F job tomorrow......

I hope you can do that with a gasser 'cause my '67 landy hasn't been started in about 5 yrs....although I plan much more elaborate "awakening" procedure for that animal.....as for my typing yess it suk
