    Don - Glad you finally made it. I guess we don't get to think of you as the step child we keep hidden in the attic anymore

    Don,

    Glad you like it and that your trip home with the snow,etc. was uneventful. The VX treated me well for four years and hopefully you will get the same enjoyment I did.

    I'll definately miss the stares and questions, etc., but I had my fun and now it's your turn. Hopefully I'll be on the road soon in the RV and doin' the retirement thing!

    Don

    Don,

    Congratulations! Welcome to the FULL obsession and I'm sure we'll be seeing you in Moab (hint, hint).

    After we left willits(I had my best friend with me ...we used his truck to go down to willits and loadup the extra tires)..then he followed me back here .
    total miles to and from 875 miles..
    It was a fun road trip

    Back to the story...After meeting Don (great guy.takes the best care of his cars.He has a MARCOS)..and getting the tires and advice..picked up a set of chains in willits then we headed out ..Stayed in Cresent city..(oh joy)..I kept getting up every 2 hours and looking out the window to see my VX...lol

    The funny part was ..it snowed ,rained,ice,wind,,in California..and when we got into Oregon..it was sunny all the way..lol..
    My friends truck blew out a tire on the way back....AAA.. (paid for itself ).
    We went up the coast all the way back..up HWY101..it was very nice..

    My wife said she knows she will be a VX widow for a couple of weeks

    My VX need a bath..
    Shes all mine..weeeeeeee.

    got to clean her today.....

    Thanks guys...
