Quoting Steve001:
Man I can't imagine driving one 22 year old car across country let alone two...



How about a 40 year old car you bought sight unseen? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif That was my adventure and I wouldnt trade it for anything.


Props to you for picking up and moving man! I'll be headed to arizona within the next 8 months pending how my job works it out. Road trips are a blast and seem to go pretty smooth if you know when to not push things, both the car and your own body.

^ this, done it once in the VR4 from VA to WA, then a couple years ago with my 77 wagon that just like Josh, bought sight unseen and only replaced the distributor, cleaned carb, and basic tuneup then drove from SC to WA. Wipers started working properly in Illinois lol.
