Laurie, I've found out (the hard way) that my car will give me odd sorts of problems (stalling, brake fade, etc.) if I don't wait and let her idle long enough to get all warmed up. I allow a good 15 minutes to get her going, warmed up, etc., before I take her ANYWHERE! Actually, my friend and I call it her "pre-flight checkup". Seeing as your little girl is ninteen years older than my Polly, I'd recommend doing the same. (Have you named yours yet?) Also, I believe its time well spent to check fluid levels, tires and such before going anywhere. In the Army, we called it PMCS (Preventative Maintenance Checks and Services). Some habits just die hard....
