Her First Check-up

June 2, 2008

Dr. Charles arrived today to give Holli her check up and heal her current conditions. I had already picked up a carb rebuild kit as I knew we would need the new accelerator pump. We picked the parts we needed, did a partial transplant and cured the leaking gasoline issue. Upon further examination we reconnected the vacuum hose for the power brake booster. We have brakes but there is a vacuum issue as the car runs rougher at idle when you press the brake pedal. Dr. C. says she is drivable but we will eventually need to repair or replace the power brake booster. We drove her to the gas station for a test drive and gave her a drink (a very pricey drink).

The Dr. gave me instructions for further treatment of other issues and a prescription to have all of her fluids changed, as well as the name of a secondary specialist who could handle this for me. We spoke for a long time about the patient and I was in awe at his knowledge of the inner workings of the automobile. He knows EVERYTHING there is to know about cars! What a fantastic ally he is going to be in this crazy venture.
