Aw crap, park it in the car show.. we need to be well represented!  BTW,
has anyone made any plans on a place to stay up there the night before?

LOL! Are you sure that wasn't one of Ron's minions?  Sounds like his work
nowadays.

There has been a lot of AC talk lately.  Personally, I bit the bullet and
did an R-12 repair and recharge 3 years ago when I bought the car.  After
doing a fair amount of research on the net regarding R134a conversions
as well as lots of the alternative brews, I decided that I wanted no part
of a system that didn't blow cold enough.  I rarely use it but when I need
it, it's there and cold as the north pole.

Check with Ed at Maxed Performance, he may be able to do the job himself,
if not he'll know someone who can do it right.. Doug has his number or
email me and I'll dig it up.
