Marcos Maniacs

Maniacs . . .
 
At last, a sunny weekend here with no rain, so time to get the Mantis out of
storage.  Took the cover off, key in the ignition, full choke, and crank.
Had to crank a little, but finally the engine sprang to life.  Careful check
in the engine compartment and underneath - no fluids gushing out.  Good
sign!  Out of the driveway, test the brakes - seem to be working well on all
4 wheels.  Up to the gas station to check the tire pressure - all 4 are spot
on.  Around the local streets to warm things up - guages all working, clutch
is good.  Onto the highway, find a side road, then foot to the floor and
wind it up through the gears - yep, still 100 mph at 300 RPM in top
overdrive.
 
So, bring on the summer!
