Dave, even though you're a Ford guy with a Chevy complex, you were a top notch pilot.

Yea that's right after 3900 miles in Betsy you are a Ford guy you just don't realize it. (Queue the bromance commentary from Todd )


Now lets find this one.

Rob,

My 'better part of 2 days' comment was referring to adding the full day lost for the clutch and throwout bearing repairs..to whatever time you and Ron took to work on it at his place.

Some round up in life, some round down...lol

The main thing is of course, as we all know, it didn't leave you by the side of the road.

Not exactly the same as the one Maserati commissioned, but pretty cool nonetheless. It could be yours for the price 6 modest sized homes in the Midwest. Although, the road trip wouldn't be as amazing since it looks like it is for sale in California.

Still think the Unimog with pivoting rear axle is my favorite.

You really need to read my healthy 101 thread. A rabbit wouldn't be happy with that diet.
