No more flat bed....
After getting towed countless times for anything from a blown headgasket to a nitrous backfire, we said enough was enough. We sold my daily driver(Lincoln LS) and picked up a 2005 Ford F-250 Diesel Harley Edition about a week ago. This morning I went over to virginia and picked up a brand new 28' enclosed hauler. Our new hauler has enough room for either of our shop cars, full workbench with computer station, golf cart/4 wheeler(tow vehicle) and a tool box. This weekend we're going to try and hit Buds Creek for a bracket race on friday and sunday we're going to Capitol for an all corvette meet. See some of you guys there!

I don't believe any of this without pics! 
Congrats! Hopefully, we won't need to trailer my car. Hell, if the 402 turns out like I want I'll have enough RWT to pull it with the vert.

I did read some people getting that, but I later found out that was not 100% true (maybe downhill and the wind at your back ). It will get about 17-18 without towing and probably 11 with towing. Though that is much better than the gas which gets about 5 towing
