A joy to drive

Today was the first day in a long time that the 99 drove just perfect.
I've been dealing with various things for the past... year, maybe longer? It started with hot start problems - clogged injectors, fixed by Red Line Fuel System cleaner, then ripped steering rack boots - pulled rack replaced boots, then wobbly rear wheel bearings - replaced those, then noisy front bearings - replaced front hubs with 1987 900 vented, then new tires and the alignment from hell, then alternator went out - new Bosch AL35X 70amp internally regulated, then that new alternator hit the heater box on acceleration - don't know what to do, then new cheapo Karlyn Industries steering boot disintegrated - pulled rack again, put on Moprod boot and Brently donated a new pinion seal (no leaks now!), then A/C was low and needed a charge - paid for that one, then new rear motor mounts to fix alternator hitting heater box, then new mounts caused exhaust interference - fixed that yesterday.
So now I'm just ripping around everywhere and the car drives fantastic with the A/C blowing nice and cold. What a blast! I also upgraded to Red Line oil and the motor is quieter. And the gear box has Red Line 75W90NS and it shifts great.
Thanks to all on this board who have helped me along the way.
