Nice Day For A Drive

["amc74hornet" <AMC74HORNET@xxxx>]

I got to replace that automatic choke on the new Hornet with a manual one like the other car has. This thing is horrible to start in the cold weather and it was only in the low 30's here this morning. Anyhow I went to do some errands and get my bi-monthly B-12 shot at the Dr's office, so I figured since it was a nice day i'd go for a drive. There is a rattling noise in the new exhaust system and I now hear a small exhaust leak at the doughnut between the header pipe and the manifold. I got an appointment to bring it back to the muffler shop this afternoon. I only have a little over 200 miles on it sice I had the system installed new front to back. I plan on useing the car Christmas to go to my daughters with my wife and 2 son's. Last thing you need is an exhaust leak in the winter with the window's closed. I also ordered 2 more new tires for the car today, and should have them on tomorrow. They are a Christmas present from my wife. She got a nice bonus from where she works.
