  • The Red Ball Express has left the building!!!

    Yes it's true. The greatest relay in muscle car history is about to take place. And the scary thing is I'll spend more on gas getting it to Ely and back than the damn thing is worth. I am getting a fine copper mine tour for my efforts, as well as a chance to drive one of those big f-ing trucks. Keep your eyes peeled for a blur of AMC goodness as I bonzai up the 15 through Vegas. I'll make updates at truckstops with wifi if possible. Stay tuned. Official time of departure will be 8:30pm. I'm flying solo, so wish me luck.

    Here are a couple of pics in front of the house a minute ago. That's Cole standing on the fender. He was going to pull co-pilot duty until he heard 8+ hours at a time in the truck, and we only stop when the truck needs gas. Not even the big f-ing trucks were enough draw to make this sound appealing.

      As my kids like to say...."It's on like Donkey Kong!" Good Luk and let's hope the jav gets signed a bunch, gets a bunch of OJ trash tossed in it and makes it to Boston in 1 piece!

          Ryan and I were happy to help load it. The little part I could do to help. Wish I could make the trip with you and see Randal and his monster trucks.

          Besides, it gave me a minute to stare at the Biscayne and sigh again.

              I helped him put "a" transmission in the back of the truck. Not sure if it was the Forum Transmission though.

                      You're welcome Seth.

                      I sent a bunch of chocolate and NOS energy drinks with him so he should be bouncing off the wall by the time he reaches Randall. ;D

                        I got a note from Phil things got moved up.
                        He's going to give me an update as they get closer.

                        Friday would've been better for me but if it's Thursday, I have
                        to play hooky also from a conference I'm supposed to attending.

                        I'm pretty damn sure there's no one from my home office on the site........ ;D
