  I am feeling adventurous. Tomorrow morning, we are leaving to visit my wife's parents in Ontario. It is just over 300 miles there. But I run 180 to get the car. And since then, it has run perfectly. Just to justify the trip in the old car, we have two car show within 25 miles of them scouted out, with plans to attend.
 
  Also there is a place there called Crown rustproofing. I have an appointment to get the car sprayed with an oil that reminds me of 3-in-1 Oil. I had the southern Excursion I bought done a couple of years ago.  They sprayed inside and under EVERYWHERE. It dripped for a while, but no harm done. I am a believer. The parents bought a Chevy Aveo when they first came out. They have had it sprayed every couple of summers. It is 100% rust free and they drive more than I do in the winter in the only place on Earth that looks to use more road salt than Michigan does. I will not be winter driving the Torino, but it'll be outside a lot and protection from moisture of any kind seems to be a good idea.
 
  Wish me luck. Like I said, the old car runs and drives great, but I have about 60 pounds worth of tools in the truck......just in case.
