My goal (my wife's and kids' idea) was to get the car street legal by
the last day of the school year (June 4, 2009). This would allow my kids to ride home from their respective schools
in style. The goal was met! First drive was on Memorial Day (5/25/09). Because the car wasn't officially
street legal yet, we just ran to the gas station and around the block a few times.
State inspection and registration (official graduation of the build process)
was completed May 29, 2009.

June 4 was my son's last day in junior high and my daughter's last day
in elementary, so this was a significant day. Last day of school pick up occured as desired, with many students, teachers,
and parents duely impressed by my kids' ride home.

I joined some other gear heads for breakfast at a nice place in Crosby,
Texas called "Star Cafe." Normally, I wouldn't drive 80 miles round trip just for breakfast, but driving a car like
this makes the trip worth while. The breakfast was good, too!
