Drove the Beetle to the Gas station for the 1st time in 21 years!
I guess that the bug was shocked to see the $ per gallon. (1987=0.85/gal...) Cruised at 55 mph mostly, but ran it up to 70 once to check that out.
Have the acurssed 40-55 mph shimmy, will have to get the tires re-balanced and get a new stabilizer.
I am running 195 60's on front and back, so I know the Speedo is off.
All in all she rode well, I am going to drive her in to work on Tuesday, barring a problem on Mondays little drive I have planned.
Have the lights and blinkers all working again, Alvin here in dalton had a good used hazard switch for $15. (man that was a pain to put in...).
I got a extra belt and a fire extinguisher and am ready to hit the road.
Got into a fuss with the tag people in Dalton, I brought in my blue and white Georgia Plate and tried to register my car on it. The short of the story is after a call (and wait, and wait, etc.) to atlanta, it was determined that I needed a Blue plate with a specific 1972 sticker on it. My stickers only went back to 1973... So, as soon as I am able to locate a Blue 1971 Ga. Plate with a 1972 sticker I am good to go on registering the ASBug with a correct year plate.
I think that about covers it....
