Yeah, it was looking a little grim at first for the draperjojo mobile. I'd like to thank McMark, Andy, and Jeff and everyone else that helped out on Saturday morning. I feel pretty fortunate to have had an engine problem with so many experts readily available. Luckily it wasn't a dropped valve seat, but a loose adjuster and locknut that managed to stay in the valve cover for the 35 miles down the hill to Moab.

By the way, the car behaved all of the way home, after we left Dead Horse Point this morning, we gassed up and drove into Salt Lake. 211 miles and it took 5.52 gallons to fill up.......I thought that can't be right..38mpg....fuel injection rocks!!!!!

We've already been talking about the next one we go to..Thank you to all for making our first 914 rally an absolute blast!!!! My kids were kind enough to point out all of the ones they liked better than ours..haha I really didn't expect to see that many 914's so that was really cool.

For those of you that helped organize this event, thank you!
