Well, I made it home in one piece after the V8's maiden voyage.  Its the first time on public roads
since I got her, and by my estimate, the first time on publick roads in quite some time (I am
guessing 2 years).

Managed to get rid of the "Brake" light - was horribly low on fluid.  Will keep m eyes out for
leaks.

One thing I did notice tonight, which I never had a chance to notice before, is the transmission. 
It seems to just sort of hang out in second or third gear (I cannot figure out which).  If you shut
the car off and turn it back on, it seems to shift from 1-2-3 but will never kick to 4th.  Also
when you floor it, it does not seem to want to downshift.  I have no idea how much tranny fluid
might be in there (if any), and planned on changing it and the filter (assuming there is one) this
weekend when we tackle the drivers side ball joint and alignment

Any ideas?
