I think I forgot to mention that I lost my court case completely.
Well, kind of...
The judge did not know the NYS law that says that if a repair shop charges more than the customer knows, they are to be fined 3 times that amount. So, I have the DMV investigating them but I am not holding my breath.
Anyway, I decided to put it on the road today. After owning it for about a year, this was the first time I drove it. All I can say is SWEET
