Default drove the car

lol, down the street and back, still doesnt have exhaust, although were getting it on wednesday, and its all aligned, man that thing is a ****in beast. i didnt want to give it too much gas and take off, and almost killed it, but then gave it a little to much and took off, in reverse (was backing out of driveway) so i went down the street, and with the old motor, second gear got you down the street at just the right speed, well i shifted into second, and was goin way too fast, so i shifted into neutral and coasted to where i was gonna turn around, (theres a street that intersects with mine) but couldnt make a comlete U turn, because there was a parked car. so i backed it, and went back to my house, it was awesome the thing is a rocket. the brakes are a little soft, and i dont know why, im gonna check it, but it floors before you get any stopping power, and after that, you get a little. But, the thing is almost done, all thats left is exhaust, I CAnT WAIT.

Sounds like an air bubble in the brakes. Hopefully it isn't a bad master.

Isn't that a great feeling when you finally get to drive what you've worked on so hard for so long? Almost ranks up there with sex.
