Not too much planned. Dinner xmas evening with Roxy's dad. Probably dinner or lunch with my Mom the day before. We always leave lots of free time around the holidays! 
That Nuke bus will be killer with some new tires and a new power steering hose.

Sure thing! Whatever you're in the mood for.
give us a heads up when you're an hour or two out. We're running around doing a few last minute things but no plans.
You still have my number?

I was gonna tell you to change your fuel filter(s) and prime it real well.
I read that you've done that. It has to be a fuel related thing so that's the place to start.
Try some of my favorite snake oil additive and run it as hard as you feel reasonable.
Good luck!

Oh so the proper word is "additives?" I always assumed schoolies needed "adjectives." No wonder I can't buy any

Be careful out there Cadillac. Lots of amateur long distance drivers on the road during the Holiday Season.
Same problem on New Years. The amateur drunks cause problems for us old pros.
