Well I haven't been on here too long but I lurked for a while last year before joining. Last year was my first HRPT and it was incredible! I was booking hotels and signing up for the 2013 Tour a month or so after I got home. I'll be long hauling it again this year!

I began lurking before the 08 tour when I long hauled (grand national). Disappeared for 2 years, was around here a bunch for the 11 tour which we long hauled (pink 2010 challenger). Met some of you on the 11 tour, made the starting line party at Cobra's (late), disappeared again, now I'm lurking again thinking about '14. Every 3 years seems about right for me, VERY interested in the route for '14.

Problems are part of the adventure. Had to rescue my parents in 2010 and bring them a minivan. They limped towards home, I headed their way with a truck and trailer, 10 hours apart when we started. Dad had u-joint issues in 08. Met a guy in 11 with a grand national when he had problems on the side of the highway and now I get drunk with him several times a year. Almost a bromance going on.

Wouldn't go back and change a thing about the past PTs.

48 posts since 2008 I beleive puts me firmly in lurker territory.
I have done partial HRPTs in 08 and 12 and will be doing my first long haul this year in my 2012 Challenger. I have a 66 Catalina wagon I am slowly working on and that will be a long haul car for sure.

amen

Oh boy, after seeing those pics, now I'm really nervous (lol). Lately, I've been thinking about driving to the corvette museum in Bowling Green, KY ... then joining the HRPT in Chattanooga. If I do, I'm following that GM medic jeep closely !

Amen Mike

Amen!!

I'm a lurker... and FNG. I've been interested in doing the HRPT for a few years now. I'll be honest, I dream about it. But, I'm scared to drive a 42 yr old vehicle long distance since I have absolutely no mechanical ability whatsoever. I found this site and have been visiting often to live vicariously through you guys/gals. Since I'm in NJ, I think 2014 will be my year since the starting point will be NC. Worse case if something goes wrong, I have the car shipped home. Plus, my 8 yr old son will be a little older, and 'should' be more mature to handle a 10 day road trip in a tiny car.

Here you go, nothing to it.

I can't really add anything else to what has already been said here about help along the way. You seem to be most wary of the trip itself & (suprise!) that's the adventure. That's where the memories are for us all. Can I get an amen?
