      and wait one cotton-picking-minute.... you stole the battery out of the Mustang... that's a non-runner. Boy, some people and their Ford-owning children. That said, you don't have enough cars - thus to level the playing field we have to add two, non-running cars to your fleet (because obviously if you don't own them they don't run).... thus 5/9 = 55%.....


      or we can subtract one non-runner from my fleet (the 50 Buick) because it's not titled in my name.... 6/8 = 75%... vs. your 5/8
      i got you both beat, out of 7 vehicles we own
      exactly ONE is currently running/driving.....

      pretty sure i "win" this one. yay?

                The occasional derelict F350, or other fun sized piece of FoMoCo fun...like a 5700 pound 1974 Torino station wagon.
                Not even kidding. The wagons are true beasts.

                NOW! the fun part begins. I'm no hunting for a 26-28 foot enclosed car trailer with at least 5200 pound axles and an F350 to pull it.
                I'm doing a moronic thing and moving half way across the country to go build cars and restore stuff.

                  Can't think of anything on the trailer/F350 (I'll keep my eyes open) but I wish you the best of luck on your new venture. If you're anywhere near Hazel Green I know a guy.

                    Well kids, as it's been quite some time, I ended up buying a 2015 Ford F250 Superduty, 6.2 Gas V8. Extended cab, Long box XLT 4x4.
                    Been really pleased with everything except the milage it gave pulling the enclosed trailer. Open trailer faired far better.

                    Closed trailer MPG 5-6 MPG
                    Open trailer MPG 12-14MPG

                    Keep in mind this was with me averaging 75-85MPH...
