    Ok so does anyone here believe cars have temperaments? My lil present doesn't like me- ha ha ha. Whenever I drive it she cuts out however whenever hubby drives it shes just fine- he says I need to let it warm up- i figured ten minutes was enough for cryin out loud! As I said in an earlier post I will be checking vacuum lines and hoses but hes got me thinking maybe my foot is not heavy enough! Anyone?

    Love your car don't change a single thing about it.
    I also have a orange and white (mines a Comet GT though) and love it. Also, fan of the big bumpers, the bumperettes are a great place to stash a hide-a-key.

    Sounds like your carb needs a refresh though. 10-15 minutes should be enough to get warmed up.

    Thank you for the welcomes! I have been super busy working and have not been posting - I guess i will have to make up for that soon- I hope all those who celebrate it have a safe and happy Easter and for those that don't have a safe and happy Sunday!
