Maybe I should have gone for the soft top

Sue and I drove up to Madison, WI last weekend for a wedding. We took her Toyota Solara convertible up late Friday night and came back home Sunday. The weather was poor on Friday but gorgeous on Sunday. The result was that my face got completely sunburned, save for the outline of my sunglasses. The picture does not do it justice but I look totally raccoon-like.
Perhaps I should get a soft top afterall. Or a tight hat that won't blow off when driving the Cobra.

This week, I am still chasing down engine quotes and such. I did end up buying a used engine hoist and leveler from a local guy who advertised a garage sale last weekend on craigslist. They did not sell, so I gave him $80 for the hoist and another $10 for the leveler. And I managed to get it home by myself in Baba's RAV.
Here are some pics...





The DVD that I ordered last week came in, so I will be watching that on Thursday and then it will be up to Quincy again this weekend. I hope to order the tranny and engine next week when one of the bidding vendors gets back from vacation.
