Intrepid is back

  Well,  I had to make a trip to Edmonton, Alberta, so June went to Susanville to pick up the Intrepid.  Had to be a fun trip, get down there on the bus, then drive an untested car home. The guys had done a pretty good job.  It seems a few connections are not quite right, but can be fixed.  One fuel fitting loosened up, and my brother was able to repair that.

Nice to have the Intrepid back, of course now I’ll have to figure out what to do with the Sebring we picked up for something to drive.  Probably keep them both around, the Sebring being a convertible, could be good fun this summer. The Sebring is a nice enough car, but really the M.G. is more fun to drive.

The Intrepid gets good mileage, is big by todays standards, and has a good road feel.  Also it has had so much work done in the last few years, that it’s pretty much a new car.  That and it now has a trailer hitch and  that make it useful for those times I don’t need to get the Maxi-Van and the car trailer out.  That and we just like the old car, and we are not the sort of people that  trade every couple years.  Come to think of it, I’ve had the Van since 1973.

In any case, looks like the Intrepid is back for a while, maybe this year it will make a visit to a paint shop. The finish is showing early signs of the paint wearing out.  I’ll have them leave the color the same, take a few little dents out, should look pretty good.
