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



Based on new information --- I'd like to modify my original "Guesstimate" for driving hours vs time allotted.


4.5 days to make a 10 day trip.....

Not in a million years would I have thought this would happen with a 30 year old Ford that you paid $1000 for.....

I say enjoy the journey and if it leaves you stranded in Oklahoma, crush it and fly home. I'm sure there is a good Chevy truck you could by somewhere near San Francisco. :D

Making Oklahoma seems pretty optimistic!

Just got a text from Dave
 
They are about to leave the garage and go get Ron's car. Thought they were going to be here in Charlotte Sunday night, that has moved to Monday night. I am guessing mid-day Tuesday myself.

I like the way you roll......... aut caesar aut nihil......latin phrase..... I remember when I was in college and drove in a low 12 second galant vr4 and I was like I want one, although I only had to go half as far for that Dsm I found 3 days after that ride I took in the vr4. Mine wasnt ever low 12sec car but it was my daily and ran a 12.6 on pump after all the mods Your making the right choice have fun and besafe

108 / 52 = 2.07 hours per tank

Might be worth picking up a 5 gal fuel jug for backup.

And a six pack of oil. :D

Can't wait for this one to commence! :thumbsup:
Well there was potentially a major hole blown in my calculations not too long ago when I found out the Big Rig has a 17 gallon tank............:lmao:

17 x .75 = 12.75 (?) x ? = ? (assuming sediment in the tank)

3400 / ? = ? refills

? x = ? gal x $3.35 -? / 3400 = $0.56 per mile (assuming it accepts regular)

? / ? = ? hours per tank


All times are GMT -7. The time now is 07:01 PM.
