I've had ours running for a month or so now, but we got to drive it some Saturday (first time). It sure was fun, but at the same time, it revealed new problems. Oh well, working on it is half the fun, right?

one is to find out why its not charging, and get all four wheels back on the ground, add tranny fluid, register it, about another month before I can drive it everyday and have fun with it.

Wild, are you sure there aren't any strings attached? When my wife agrees that easily there is usually an alterior motive. Ergo beach trip, jewelry, dent in the new car, etc... :naughty:

have to agree with you ryoung my wife said yes to this only if I got her a toyota tundra so she got what she wanted.
