I think someone should buy it on the East coast and make the drive back.

What an adventure you and Rob had!

I think that would complete the story just perfectly.

That would be pretty awesome.
Cross Country Carrier!

Dang. Thats the same price as a genuine Dirk Digglar Corvette (less the gold chains). This probably has more power though....

Just messaged a buddy here in Livermore.....

That had to be a long drive.

Thanks Mike! Say hi to Dirk for me. :lol:

If my co-driver only hadn't had to get back to work.... we woulda kept going.... somewhere. :thumbsup:

Dibs on the cd, if you decide to part this out...paypal ready!

Scott,
what do you need from the part out?

I'm kinda interested here Flash ( I didn't know we were neighbors until Mike texted me). I've made some hauls with my flat trailer to Tennessee (a couple), Reno (more than a couple), Denver, etc. What's nice about this little guy is I can still go 70. Stinkin' California has the tow speed restriction.:BlahBlah:

You have a PM.

This will be in the Car Corral this weekend at Pleasanton Goodguys.

Price lowered to $6995.

"What's it gonna take to get you in this truck today?"

I'd love to see what Ironworks or Roadster Shop could do with this truck and Weld's checkbook.

:stirthepot:

turn it into a steam punk lawn ornament most likely. :bitchslap:

I would rather see what Roadster shop could do.

Yeah. I'd rather not work with Weld either I guess.

And now we are live:

:tv_happy:

If comedy sold vehicles, this one would be gone already...or if it was a farm truck. :unibrow:

Exactly, We build farm trucks not tow trucks. We have to draw the line some where.

Congrats on the sale.

Oddly, I now find myself needing to transport a car. :)
