I was actually out on a tow with it when I took this, so Greg if you need just call me and I will drive down at 24mph and rescue you..

That is sick.

Last time I was there the conditions were about the same

The dealer flew into South Bend.... I was able to rent a car - have lunch - drive to Elkhart - check into the hotel - and drove back to South Bend Regional Airport and then sat and waited for him to arrive.

I originally tried to fly into SB - but it was just too much effort... and took all day. Whereas flying into Chicago - I had lots of choices of carriers and times... and it was only the one non-stop flight.

Now -- today will be a hassle because it snowed all night... which could make the drive back to Chicago not nearly as much fun. We'll see. Then I might be
wishin' I'd have flown to South Bend!

Traveling half a continent at your age should help sway them into doing a 'May mercy' delivery.

That's a possibility, but after today's meeting to "finalize the various open details" I seriously doubt it. This

is always a possibility too.

Let's get this thread back off track and talk about something interesting that has a motor..........like Kevin's articulating 535 Case! Hopefully Dave and Greg will pm each other regarding interior the design elements sparing us the hormonal agony of reading about drapes, floors, counters, door knobs, light & plumbing fixtures.

It just looks like a normal sized guy standing next to a club wagon.

Man you guys are brutal..... I take a one day trip and get thrown under the bus!

Siegmiester.... detailed pics of fabrics and granite WILL be posted tomorrow (plane wifi is way to slow)

Rob.... What can I say. The mini gave me shrinkage. Seriously. I've never been so humiliated driving anything before. I don't understand ANYONE ever wanting to actually buy one those things. It's just wrong in so many ways.

Jer.... I couldn't find anyone that was willing to give up his man card snapping photos of me with the mini van. Nobody wanted to be seen as actually wanting to savor such a sight.
