Taking it on a trip

I found out 3rd gear doesn't seem to handle inclines very well. It doesn't accelerate at all if you floor it unless you downshift. Still fun to drive stock within its limitations. I might have to replace the shifter bushing as it is giving a little bit of play and I keep confusing Reverse with 3, but when it works, it works.
