Doc...
You are absolutely right. Even when I take my Hornet around the block for 
her weekly start up and warm up. Helps keep the battery charged, helps keep 
everything lubed up and also keeps the tires from getting flats spots. I get 
some looks and points and stares. I am also trying to get all that old nasty 
5 year old fuel out of her. I am waiting for the day that when I take her 
out around the block to finally run out of fuel in her!! She seems like that 
stoopid energizer bunny...keeps going and going and going........  I have NO 
IDEA how much is in the tank, the gage dont work and the smell of the 
stuff?? EEEGADS! Talk about some fumes. PEE-U! She's got some good carbon 
build up in her I know that for shure. And the Lucas that I have put in her 
is doing its job on getting most of it out. What I should do is get her 
licensed and take her out on a Saturday night and cruise with the kids down 
on main street. Betcha a 100 bucks that someone comes and asks....."what 
kind of car is this"? It will make me wonder if they can even read what the 
fender emblems say.  HHHMMMMMM......So much for skoolin'!
