Default Long Haul

So I finally got my '79 back home. I was storing it at my dads while I moved back to Cali. I live in the L.A. area and my dad lives in the Bay Area, I have never towed anything before and I forgot how boring I5 was until I could only drive 55 on it. The fun part came when I was about 25 minutes from home and one of the trailers tires blow out. I guess it's a good thing it was a double axle trailer..... I left the Bay at 3p.m. and got home at about 3 in the morning. But she is home and now I can finish working on her!

Glad to hear you made it back safe. It could have been a big mess if you only had the single axle. The Corvette could have been driving itself.

Good luck with the project.
