I am back with a Vette
Tuesday afternoon I left for Vegas driving 95 Dodge with a 20+ tilt trailer. Wow what a drive 2500+ miles in 3+ days. I did not know about the 55 mph when you hit Cal. What a disappointment that was it, I pushed to 63 most of the way.
I am back from Las Vegas with a very nice ’79 Corvette, it was in deed all that he said it was. No rust LOL he did not even drive it when the humidity was up. I was sure when I returned home there would be no way I would drive for a few days, nope we got that baby off the trailer and I was just going to drive home, ooopppsss missed my street and the next one and the next one 2 hours later I made it home, what a nice ride. I will try to post some pic later. Thanks to all that helped make this choice, The best was that I should go down and see for my self well worth the money.
