    Not this time - we're into next weekend's Land Speed thing for a fortune in peripherals already.

    But Ozzy Osbourne and his son hit Tank Town on their USA tour program and that's a riot! That's got to be a blast to do - no pun intended!

      Just submitted a request online for Tanktown for the car crushing! Hope they have a slot open. Now I need to figure out what we are driving and check it over.

        Tank Drive / Car crush confirmed and paid for! Power brakes are operational in the Mustang! On the road in 78 hours if all goes according to plan.

          Okay! We'll meet you at Tank Town, we want to watch. I wouldn't miss that for the world. And Sue Unit's in. From Tank Town to the Gear Head Inn.

          Dang, I can't wait to watch that. I hope there's a spectator area. You've got my phone number, let me know just about what time to meet up at Tank Town on Monday, by guesstimate.

          EDIT: Of course, YouTube video will be the order of the day.

            Sounds like a plan. We are hoping to drive the Tail of the Dragon after Tank Town on the way to the Gear Head Inn. Does that work for you and Sue?

              Yeah, okay. The Dragon is past GHI. Yeah, we'll do it. Monday's a good day to do it. Coming in from the west, we might as well run the Dragon twice, both directions to get back on a heading to GHI.

              Call me when the time gets close. Call me before then, let's get our stuff in a pile. This will be great.

                Good deal. I'll touch base later this week.

                  Hey Chris,

                  MapQuest has you coming through Cleveland to get to Tank Town from Chattanooga. Let's hook up at Weeville and just convoy from here. Whatcha think? Unless you're planning another route.

                    That sounds like a plan. Our date with the tank is for noon. Lets plan on 10:15 ish at your place unless you think we need more time. Also thinking we'll stop for lunch somewhere after the tank shenanigans. We are planning on driving this:

                      It's a buck 15 from here to Tank Town. If it goes well, no interruptions, that should work

                            It'll be in our driveway for a few minutes. I'm going to pull a distraction thing and go hide it and then try to convince Chris he actually showed up at our house in a 2005 white F150 pickup truck, while I'm waving the key in front of him.

                            Think it'll work?

                                Golly Whoppers was that ever fun !!!!!!! Chris and Teresa, it was a huge pleasure to meet y'all and run with y'all, our new lifelong friends. And what an adventure. Unit said it before we ever started and she was right - we did more yesterday than Unit and I typically do in a whole month.

                                Chris and Teresa smashad a car flat with an army tank (I've got video that I need to put together). We ran the Dragon twice, each direction. And retired at GHI for some good eating and fellowship with Jim and Mary. It don't get no better, what a day.

                                C&T, thank you so much for coming to see us and making that day possible! What a blast. And that green 66 Mustang, that thing is a rolling epic priceless story all in its own. What a ride WITH a story.
