Greg, do what you did with the rig, and buy someone else's Sun Valley house...McQueens!

We looked at a lot of houses -- but GWEN laid down the law and said a 2 mile radius from the center of Ketchum (what everyone refers to as Sun Valley).... and when you want to park your "rig" and have a shop there too... you custom build.

Trust me when I tell ya ---- there's no shortage of "McMansions" around here and at 7 million, McQueens is on the cheap end!

I got a kick out of reading about the "salivating" over the ultra huge garage - some 1,700 square feet!!! Mine will be 4,100 square feet and then we have a double deep 4 car garage for the house... But then again - not many folks want to park their semi/toterhome/trailer thingy inside under their house.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Um, ya, i dont get the salivating thing. I've got a three car garage, small, bout 720 sq feet, almost 1/2 the size their bragging about. I've got my camaro, two dirt bikes, work bench and my wifey's subaru and its waaaaayyyyyy too small.

There's a magic rule about "stuff" expanding to fill the space allotted to it!!



So dang true!!!

So, does that oversized hauler/man cave float?

I got to check out the Weld rig this weekend. He's definitely traveling in style. And apparently he likes to haul stuff for other people too! There was all sorts of stuff laying the back of that rig. And a couple of pretty decent cars in there too.

If you read the post right above your's Bryan -- that statement is exactly what happens!!


Hobaugh Camaro
Voelkel 48 Hour Camaro
Gwen's '33

A few zillion brand new cones for USCA
All the USCA timing gear

A whole bunch of RideTech gear/displays...


This trailer was made to haul CARS... not freight... but it's what friends do for friends.

I get to dump Voelkel's car and his stuff --- and all the USCA stuff is done as far as I go (next up it heads to Florida I think).... BUT --- I hate big BUT's --- Ed Capen asked if I could take his new Corvette back to Nor Cal -- and before he asked, I managed to buy a gas pump - a 6' GULF sign - A Mobil Lollipop sign - and a "BAR" sign... This will be "fun" trying to find safe places for all that stuff. UGH! So I drove 24 miles out to a Loves truck stop tonight and bought some freight bars (they lock across the inside of the trailer to secure freight - they work on "friction") so I can have a couple places to "secure to".
