Still adding miles and getting "thumbs up" from other drivers and lots of conversations at gas stations and Home Depot parking lot. I'm getting better at down shifting from 4th to 3rd without grinding gears. I'm learning that I need to plan ahead for stopping as the brakes take a lot of pedal force to stop in a hurry. I took a drive to Harbor Freight yesterday and noticed I didn't have my phone. Probably left it in the garage? Nope. As you can see in the picture, I left it on my front fender and it dropped off a couple miles from home. When I got home, I called my number (I still have a land line) and a nice lady answered and said her husband found it in the road. No damage thanks to my Otter Box. I feel so lucky. And yes, I gave her a tip!
