...later, finally done with towing the damn car. never thouhght i'd say it, but i'm SICK OF DRIVING! bakersfield is about 300~350 miles from where i live. i did the roundtrip last Wed, and again today. the big dodge ram i was driving got a whopping 9mpg. freeway, local, uphill, downhill, trailer or not, still 9mpg. them V10s do the ozone good eh? oh no! i'm starting to TALK lke the ppl from bakersfield....

anyway, here are some hi-lites:

arrived to pick up the car around 430. everything packed, hitched, and ready to go around 530. found out they lost my adaptor so i couldnt plug in the trailer lights. bad news considering i'd be driving all night. went to the local uhaul (after several wrong turns), and OF COURSE&lt; the one adaptor they dont have is the one i need. nice guy jerry-rigged somethin for me, only to short some wires and blow my brakelight fuse. off to autozone. found the fuse, working brakelights....but the uhual moron wired the trailer lights incorrectly. one brake light worked, few running lights, one turn signal... by this point, it is 8pm, i say f'it, let the cops pull me over, and leave. didnt get pulled over tho, luckily.

i was told it wouldn't load/unload from the trailer for scraping the undersides of the front/rear fascias.... did you have trouble getting on and off the trailer?

because i'm so low (dropped 2"). Had to have the trailer ramps elevated about 6" (eg, sidewalk or drivway), or else be on a downslope in order to get the car on/off. a stock (or even lowered 1") TT should make it up no problem.

why in tarnations would you want to haul such a lovely car unless it didn't run????

and the lift at Tomas was full. i'm so damn tired and strressed from dealing with a full-time job, this car project and classes getting underway that i really think i'm gonna let the guys at Tomas handle the last leg of the project. I'm sick of calling up vendors daily, wrestling to get parts. =T

i promise i'll get pics by the end of the week tho.
