Then three shop tours takes another day out of there - so now we're down to 6 days of driving for a 10 day trip... 5 days of driving that POS will have you sleep thru half of day 6 because you've had your arses handed to you... so now we're down to 5.5 days to make a 10 day trip...

Just call work and resign... and then kick back and make a trip out of it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm consulting my road trip buddy. He spent the first part of his life living off the land.

Bring the quilt table cloth too. It'll remind you of your ultimate goal :cheers:

It's a rug, you've walked on it before; on your way to the Torino room:twak:.

Hell no.

All I can say is I wish I could go! This sounds like an absolute blast. I think you should call the guys at bang Shift and borrow some cameras to film this trip. It's going to be epic! :king:

Speaking of phone chargers, find out from the seller (if you haven't already), does the cigarette lighter work...if it has one.

I did not mention it but the truck has been at a garage in town there for 2 weeks and is handling a punchlist of "prep" items to get this thing as road worthy as we can hope it to be. Fluids change, new radiator/hoses (had leak -- paid for by seller), brake flush/check, tire check, belt check, power charger install. And an order to check it over for what you want to do if you were taking your family on a cross country trip with it. His response was "I'd ship it." :lol:

Bought a Mac tie down kit from Summit which is being delivered to the shop next week as well. The rest is in the hands of the man upstairs. :D

Gosh, I hope the cigarette lighter in that old Ford still works....*

**Lance should learn to read ahead... :D
