Two days at the mechanic and about $1,200 later (I paid $1,800 for it four years ago, sigh), Edna is now purring like a kitten, and her A/C is like an arctic blast. (After replacing the radiator, manifold, heat pump, part of the exhaust, and whatever else, they threw in the A/C charge for "free.") I'm just going to assume that the stinky smoke coming from under the hood is simply some new-part grease burning off...
So, Edna will be making the trip with me. Plans are taking shape, and I have helpers coming this weekend to work on the crap-winnowing and packing. I'm feeling a little less freaked out, and a little more excited, which is a relief.

Posted by: vv on August 12, 2008 12:53 PMSorry, didn't mean to pry. Just wishing you the best where ever it is.
Posted by: SailorJohn on August 13, 2008 12:00 AMIt's nothing personal. Just trying to be Internet-savvy, and keep at least some things private from the intertubes.
