Kat, you're safe for now. When Dub says that you're on his "short list" THAT'S when you know you're in trouble.

Dub, if you and Jim can make it the plan is to meet up in Glenwood around noon and Grand Junction at the Liquor Barn at like 1:30. Hope to see you guys at either spot.

Love you bro, but you've got it turnd 180.

The short list is the people I like...:heart:

There's a reason that the long list is so long...

If you were crossing the Poplar Street Bridge into St. Louis at 1:09 PM CT today, I was 2 cars behind you. My eyes lit right up. It was raining hard and I couldn't make out the plates, but it was a Proton on trailer being hauled by a larger dark SUV. And the roof rack was absolutely jammed.

That was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Were you driving a VX? I have had my eyes peeled, since there isn't really anything else to do. I am from the KC, MO area, but man, St Louis drivers are a-holes. Thats awesome that someone spotted me!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a yota behind me today with blacked out headlights and a funky grill insert, thought it was a VX for a second... I am getting super paranooid/hyped.

You guys won't believe it, but I had another blow out on the trailer tonight!!!! That will make 2 blowouts, and 4 new tires. The trailer owner is payin me back, I told him I would buy one of them for wear and tear cost. I am in Laramie, Wyoming right now. I had to change that last tire while it was snowing in flip flops, shorts and a tshirt...booooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya'll in a few days. Someone tell Wyoming that its almost summer...

Good to hear you’re almost here. I spent the day prepping for the trip. Sorry to hear you’re having trailer tire problems, but the VX is 2 tons it’s no lightweight. See you on Monday! :cool:

Blasting off in just under 5 hours...think I'll try to get a little sleep now!:eek:
Think I'll need a few Monsters for the drive tomorrow. Meeting up with Kat around 9-10 at the petrified forrest and then it's a mini Az convoy to the big MOAB!!!!!:bgwp:

GVW is 4500, I figure with extras and whatnot, somewhere a bit over 5k. So yes, definitely heavy, and the Expy is 7500lbs, so I figure with the trailer and gear, I am rolling between 13000 to 15000 lbs. Yikes, no wonder I was getting 8mpg until I got further north where they don't dilute gas with ethanol. Now I am getting around 11-12 mpg, means ethanol is actually making the environment worse...

Unfortunately, my VX engine blew almost exactly a year ago. I was driving [sarcasm]an ultra-rare Mazda 3[/saracasm]. That stretch of road is where I've had my worst driving experiences and the lanes are just so poorly marked.

But we are a-holes drivers.:smilewink Be safe and safe travels to everyone.
