    It's a GTX. It most certainly isn't soulless. It has a soul, it's just under contract to Satan, that's all.

    Which is why I drive it. ;)

    If no one has already said it,

    Ha! Only from the hotel to the track - I don't need deadweight on the autox or drag, buddy. ;)

    Four year old gas might run. I have bought cars that were sitting for four years and driven them home. They run like crap but will usually run. The nose knows. If there is any "bite" to the smell it will probably run. If it is kind of sweet, probably not.

    We drained out a gallon of it; it looked good and it didn't smell sweet, so we put in 4 gallons of good gas, primed the fuel system and hit the start button!

    Nothing.

    After a few minutes of troubleshooting, my buddy Terry figured out that the starter wire under the engine wasn't making contact, reseated it, and she fired right up! Sounds great.

    Hopefully we can get the car back together and driving by the end of the weekend! :D
