We made it!
Well, the Met made the trek down from Cupertino all the way to Anaheim! We made quite a few stops on the way, but we did make it eventually! My dad and a friend of his followed me down in my dad’s car, and it’s a good thing, too! We started off from my house the morning of April 25th, made a quick stop at Starbucks, and we were on our way. When we got on the freeway, my dad wanted to check the speedometer, to make sure it was registering the right speed. Sure enough it was pretty close! Well, about an hour into our trip, the speedometer needle drops like a rock. Then I notice the odometer isn’t working either. Haven’t figured out what the problem is yet, but I checked for a loose connection, but couldn’t find one. Anyway, we continued on our way, but I had no way of telling how much gas I had left or how many miles I’d gone, so our first stop was a gas station a couple hours after we started out. We kept on going, and our next stop was lunch at Subway a couple hours later. We made another gas stop a couple of hours after that, and that’s when the second problem emerged. We filled the tank up, and then my dad’s friend noticed that there was gas dripping at a fairly steady pace out the back of the car. Not a good sign! It did eventually stop, so we’re guessing that the tank was overfilled, or there’s a small crack or something in the top of the tank. Yet another thing to get checked out! But she made it all the way down here in one piece, and now I just have to get her pretty for the car show! Today was spent washing her, and the rest of this week I’ll be cleaning every last inch inside and out. I’ll be sure to get some pictures of her once she’s beautiful! I did get some pictures of my trek, but some of them are on my other camera, and I need to get the film developed, then scan them in.
