Road Trip Weirdness

Pulled into the Wichita Marriott to check in and look what was in front of me!

How cool!!! Did you have any interesting conversation with the owner?

Nope. I tried but couldn't find the owner.

I also passed at least a half dozen late-model Mach 1s heading South out of Dallas as I was heading North out of Houston. I had never seen one before today, then I saw 6 in the span of a couple hours!

On top of all that, in OKC there was a beautiful '66 coupe coming out of Home Depot, pulling a trailer filled with landscaping equipment!!! Somehow I don't think that's something most people do with their restored Mustangs.

Hopefully tomorrow will be just as weird.

Neil

You should have seen him before he cut the mustache off!!

Was that the look you had when you saw the white CS or the 66 pulling labdscape trailer? :wink:

That's what 4 years in Houston does to a Northerner. I'm just thankful the surgery fixed most of it!

Back in God's country tonight; Billings, Montana!!!

Next stop, Spokane/Post Falls. Need to see if there really is a GT/CS in a restaurant or if it's just an urban legend.

I'm jealous. I need a road trip.
Hoooo weeeee I go to Beverly Hills tomorrow and Oakland next week.

Arlie

You will have to tell us how much money you have spent in gas to drive the GT/CS that far. By the way, that is amazing that you are taking that big of a trip with the car. I just caught up with this thread and did not realize you were out. Please let us know total miles driven for the trip.

I just got in late last night from a week on the river. Sadly, there is no longer a GT/CS in a restaurant, but I can take him to the "crime scene".

Paid a visit to Steve today. For those of you who haven't seen his white GT/CS with red stripes in person, believe me, you're missing a real treat! It is beautiful!!! I was almost embarrassed to park my bug-splattered heap next to it. And most of us would kill for his shop!

He was also gracious enough to help me with a little coolant leak issue I developed. It seems the mechanic that replaced the evaporator valve forgot to tighten the clamps on the heater hoses and they finally worked loose. Seeing neon green all over an engine compartment is a very disturbing sight.:icon_pani This was an easy fix, though.

2500 miles so far @ around 17mpg @ 75mph @ roughly $4.00 per gallon.

Arlie, are you stopping at my place (Arvada, suburb of Denver) or have you already gone thru????? Bob here.

rvrtrash · Jul 17, 2008

It was truly a pleasure to finally meet you in person Arlie, and don't worry about the bug splatters. They wash off but an epic trip lives on forever! :grin: I hope you can stop by on your way back. I still owe you a lunch.

Nice! Im hoping to drive my CS up from LA to SF next week with a small stop in Santa Barbara.
Was just wondering how many tanks it would take! Hope nothing "works it way loose" either. (Crossing fingers)

Party pooper! :sad:
Denver is in Northern California isn't it? Just go south a little more.....then hang a right. :grin:

Two tanks Robert! I'm going to Oakland on Monday but I'm taking I-5 to 152 and over to 101. Wanna race?

HappyHour · Jul 18, 2008

Sure, you driving your CS? Last person buys Gilroy garlic fries at 152\101 interchange?? :grin:

Wow you know its bad when your CS gets better mileage on a full tank than your other car. I need to go buy some eco-credits or plant a tree.

Naw...driving the work truck, 18 wheeler, so I will be the last person getting to Gilroy. You know how it is...zero to 60 in fifteen minutes. But once I have 'er wound up...look out! :grin:

Arlie wanna go to the bay area?
