I think someone should buy it on the East coast and make the drive back.

What an adventure you and Rob had!

I think that would complete the story just perfectly.

Dang. Thats the same price as a genuine Dirk Digglar Corvette (less the gold chains). This probably has more power though....

Just messaged a buddy here in Livermore.....

**grendel** · #6 03-17-2015, 08:10 PM

That had to be a long drive.

Scott,
what do you need from the part out?

I'm kinda interested here Flash ( I didn't know we were neighbors until Mike texted me). I've made some hauls with my flat trailer to Tennessee (a couple), Reno (more than a couple), Denver, etc. What's nice about this little guy is I can still go 70. Stinkin' California has the tow speed restriction.
