Default Mr. Sutton

Sounds like you know a lot about Arkansas. That is where I am from and my family still lives in North Little Rock.

When you go through Memphis you will need to go down to Beale Street. A few blocks off is Rendezvous Ribs.

Do you know if the wheel base has been stretched on the hauler and if so how much? Ron S. thought that it may need more stretch to it.

Just thinking out loud here...where are you going to put your luggage?

I lived in Moore & Norman, Oklahoma for 9 years in my drag racing days. As you know, I-40 is the conduit east & west, so I've been through there many times.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I wanna have some good ole Carolina BBQ too buddy.

Does not appear to have a stretched wheelbase. Only one way to find out if it will tip over or not. Test it on someone else's Camaro.

Rob's lap sounds like a great spot for my luggage.

No confusion here. Duramax may happen if this FE variant can't handle the Chevy riding on its back.

Very cool DG. Only concerns are cruise speed and mpg. D-Max would certainly cure that and Bret would love to accommodate you! Front splitter, sun visor, cab spoiler and side CURTAINS on the bed too!

Cruise speed is just a built in governor. Not always a bad thing.

That's awesome Dave. That is a really cool hauler. SOunds like a killer road trip as well.
Are you guys taking RTE. 95 or 495 South at all through Massachusetts? Not sure if I'll be around or not though.
Not certain of the exact route yet. We have a couple dedicated stops along the way, but other than that are intentionally keeping it open and spontaneous.

Greggers, I think my hauler will be the galactic opposite of your hauler.

Well the shop aired up the tires to 70# and then noticed weather cracks in all the treads.... so I had to hurry up and order 6 new tires today from Tire Rack and luckily they will be there Wednesday... if all goes right. I pick up the truck Thursday. Not much room for error there.
