Nelly was finally back from the dead<\/a> and running, but still had a lot of kinks to work out\u00a0before becoming truly roadworthy. The ‘kinks’ were little things, you know, like the addition of shocks and seat belts and the ability to not have the engine die stop lights.<\/p>\n

I’d been working on her for what felt like 5 years, and perhaps I needed to just feel that tangible\u00a0progress of actually driving<\/em> down the road. I\u00a0decided to go ahead and take her for a spin, and while it was, perhaps, marginally safe (for me as her driver, not the others on the road mind you), I took it easy and\u00a0did a short trek to\u00a0Boulder and back. It was totally worth it, she made the trip without too much fuss, and I grinned ear to ear the whole way.<\/p>\n

We’ve still got a ways to go, but Nelly’s official maiden voyage was a raging success and I can’t wait to finish her and launch The ShutterBus![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4728,4729,4724,4722,4711,4726,4713,4714,4715,4716,4717,4718,4719,4720,4721,4712,4723,4725,4727″ layout=”3″ item_spacing=”default” gallery_style=”4″ load_in_animation=”none” img_size=”600×400″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
