I got to drive the car a bit today. We took it and had wire wheels installed by Discount Tire that we had bought online. They are replicas of the original '57 T-Bird wire wheels. It took two and a half hours, they had some problems with one of the inner tubes. They wouldn't drive the car. I had to pull it into the service bay for them. Rex had followed me in the truck. We were going to drop it off and go buy groceries while they worked on it, but we ended up staying around. Rex had to remove the finder shirts for them. They were being so careful with the car, and the wire wheels look so nice now that they are on. We have a few other things to do yet to get it ready to show, but it's looking so good already. It's in really nice condition, and is quite a head turner when I drive down the street. People honk and wave. One guy stopped beside me at a red light and ask if I'd trade and said it was beautiful. I really like my little blue bird, and will post pics. I'm driving it without the roof right now, and am enjoying the open air. I'd never driven a convertable before.

We were going to a Sonic this evening for a car club meetup, but would you believe, of all times, it started to sprinkle a bit, so we didn't go.
