    My Car is On Its Way to Missouri!

    What a crazy couple of weeks it's been, but we are finally moved to Missouri and getting unpacked. The last thing to get moved is my car. It's been sitting in my buddy's huge shop waiting for transport and today is pickup day!

    We'll have to see if it accumulates miles riding in the trailer like it did when it shipped back to you from me

    Hope everything with the move is going well!

    Apparently Dave's did when the shippers took it from my place to him. We wondered if maybe when the car was loaded the power wasn't shut off so it was able to obtain a satellite signal and log miles?????

    Didn't it also show a top speed of 100+ MPH? The Serpent Express is the best towing trailer I've ever had but not THAT good!

    I'm sure the car is in good hands, it may be the only one in town, too.

    Great to hear Dave! Remind me where you moved to in Missouri(?) We just had our monthly meeting last week (made a road-trip / picnic / Eclipse Watch party out of it in Fredericktown, MO). So next meeting is almost a month away, but we do have some events planned before that, with a Garage Party scheduled for 4/20! Let us know when you're up to cruising or a visit.

    btw, I think your car is my doppelganger.

    I'm in Mexico and still buried in boxes, so a drive likely isn't on the list of things to do this weekend. I'm hoping by mid-to-late summer I'll be in a good place to start participating with the club.

    Just a few thoughts: maybe you can have your own golf course like Tiger has in Florida. Or you could have your own personal baseball diamond. Real dugouts are always appreciated. Or, for the more environmentally friendly approach - a flock of sheep? Just kidding. Your new home and grounds look lovely!

    Thanks, Rich. I'm officially a member now. It may be a while before I can participate, but I look forward to getting involved. We're still getting settled in and are headed to Alaska in a few weeks.
