Last week we did two 15 mile test drives.
This week I drove 27 miles round trip (without knowing if I'd make it home because
I still don't have my e-meter setup) to my appointment with the
Colorado Motor Vehicle Emissions Technical center, and they signed off a
form DR2365 I needed to get my E type registration/title! I was
pretty nervous, and some things went wrong before I arrived. 6 blocks
away my car lost power due to my old rickety 12v battery dying off
(still no dc/dc converter). So in the parking lot next to the one I
'rolled' into, there was a meineke auto shop which happily stocked and
sold me a new charged battery ($120 later) and I installed it there in
the beautiful Colorado winter sun, and arrived at my appointment three
min early. (with the convertible top down!)
Things that went right?
1) I didn't get pulled over for my 3 month expired temp tag.
2) They signed the form needed.
3) I made it home without running out of electricity in my traction pack!
4) my new battery didn't die.
whew.
did get some video, will post soon.
