Tru,
Weather is nice but the wind is blowing quite hard today and it is cold as it comes right across the snow in the mountains surrounding the valley. I have made my reservations for the WSCB in Reno in May and plan to drive over. Now I need to plan a route that has gas stations closer than 150 miles apart. My 33 MPG won't go to far with just a 16 gallon tank. Wish you and Kristen and Mike could make it but that is a long way for all of you. If I could afford a pick up to tow a trailer, I would think about the Spring Fling and some other events, but that is out of the question. I looked at an 1985 Ford F-250 yesterday with a cracked exhaust manifold, leaking brakes, and other miscellaneous problems and they guy wants $n 6,500 for it. Crap, it would take anouther $9,500 to get it in shape where I wouldn't be afraid to get out of town with it. Also the transmission had some problems. I have about came to the conclusion that I would be better off to have one of the car haulers haul the car if I go anywhere far away and them come get it and haul it back. I plan to do as much as I can this Summer.
