A road trip to buy a car hauler.... or buying a car hauler to take a road trip?

Yeah, he has... he is the other guy with a dog box on the street. Right Ron?

I normally subscribe to this school of thought, but I make exceptions when it's 10 effing degrees outside and the first gas pump in 3 states I find will work with the auto-fill function.

Rob's embellishment can run pretty deep (shocker)...

And since we are into throw under the bus mode Rob loves to drive slow in the left lane and get passed by big rigs on the right (he helps validate the notion that California drivers suck and don't know the rules of the road).

Oh, and he is also the only one thus far to stall Betsy with sub standard clutch manipulation. Very disappointing for a life long Ford driver.

I was almost tempted to just video the fountain until Dave returned but there wasn't an airport nearby.

So instead I shut it off and pushed it forward. BTW DG is still complaining about the gas smell on his jacket. No embellishment needed

A few hundred mi back I bought a 2 gal gas can as a precautionary measure. I fill it up and notice the F#*$ing seal on the brand new can is torn. I tried 2 get it 2 seal but no dice.

Right then a local walks up " hey is this a 66?"
DG "68"
Me "its for sale"
Local " I had a 69 with a 350 4 bolt"

As entertaining as this was it was 12 Fing deg out and I was done messing with the leaky can.

"Hey partner, would you like a free gas can and a couple gallons of gas?"

He focuses on the can and DG and I pull away..... the small red can fades to a small red dot in the rear view mirror.

DG and Rob/Rob and DG...

I pondered your most recent thought provoking posts...

Uh ... thanks!

lol

BTW- your estimates on the longest period of silence while driving?

And who usually apologizes first?

Apparently Rob and I have found our respective niches. I should be driving and he should be pumping gas.

For the record I was set up on this one.

Well DG is right about 1 thing he is a crosscountry gas hazard.

I'm strongly encouraging Rob to sell his T56 and install an auto trans in the Torino after witnessing him abuse Betsy's brand new clutch.

Still bitter about the Kart results and my 7.5 mph stretch

Anyone know where to purchase a working throttle stop that I can attach to every gas station pump I encounter?

Guess it's a good thing I got one on my new AP pedal box.

Sounds like you've maybe done one of these road trips with a friend/foe.
