Ok, I got the car back and there were no major problems.

I got pulled over in Quartzsite when I stopped to get gas. The officer told me that he pulled me over because I was wearing a helmet. I told him that I didn't believe it was a law that you can't wear a helmet while driving a car, since it is promotoed while riding a motorcycle, and if it really does restrict your view, why does the government promote wearing something that can get you killed?

He said he would look up the law. Does anyone know if it really is a law that you can't wear a helmet while driving a car?

He also wanted to know where my license plate was. I told him it was right there on the back of the car. He disagreed. Apparently I had been going so fast that it blew off the back!

So now there are just a couple of rivets and some torn up aluminum back there. How do I fix this?

Another issue is the horn is not there or not functional. I don't even know where the horn button is. There is a botton on the turn signal handle that activates a relay somewhere, I can hear it when I push the button, but nothing happens. I'm guessing that is the horn switch. Could it be somewhere else?

Are power brakes an item that you would recommend putting on this car? After the long drive and the hard to push brakes, I almost put my head thru the window in my Jeep this morning....

Hope to see you guys out somewhere soon,

Steve
