Thanks!
Uneventful ride home. Last 15 minutes in pouring rain.
Felt the car a little squirrelly in the down pour so I was more cautious.
Handled just fine.

Evidently the car in front didn't recognize the changing road conditions and wrecked it.
When will people learn to drive?

Making a mental to do list and questions.

On the highway the water temp was running cold.
That normal for an M42?
It was usually just above the tick mark before center.

Oil smell?
I'm tired of after the drive so I'll go over the car tomorrow.
Others. Oil smell usually a leaky valve cover?
No big deal.

First on my list is an inspection II.
Oil, filter, plugs.
Cabin filter.

Next diff, tranny and brake fluid.

Then the cosmetic stuff.

Not complaining mind you.
Pretty nice for 95.

Looking forward to keeping it in the family.

That's what I'm thinking although I had similar problems when very cold.
