    I may not be able to make it this year either, Handee. I have a bunch of life stuff in my way right now and may not even have a way to get down there. I should know this weekend if I'll make it or not... SO BUMMED!

    Yer not alone...

    The pain of missing out might sting a little more for those of us that have been to Moab (lucky sumzabeeches), but I'm sure it messes with even those that have never been there for the scenery, the wheelin' and the partying. Many people lurk the forums every May to live vicariously through those lucky VXers that are going. Missing out of the yearly gathering because of health, job, school, etc. is rough. Hanging with the VX family is the greatest! I hope we can push back the dates a little next year to make it easier...

    I would like to go, but coming from the Memphis TN area it would be a long long drive. If my VX made it there in one piece, that would be good. But to make it back home again after thrashing it in the rocks, spectacular. If I had a way to haul it there and back, it might be more doable. I have a friend with a rock crawler Toyota and a big diesel Chevy. We need to get a goose-neck and load them both up and I can chip in for fuel. Maybe next year...

    Handito,

    When we talk about lifting your VX, we mean new springs or spacers & torsion bar crank.

    Putting your VX on a rack in the garage is NOT what we had in mind.

    What's next, ya gonna put a new muffler on it by wrapping the whole VX in bubble wrap???

    Good to see you visiting again.

    Fly out Sam, (Denver, Albuquerque) a convoy can pick you up, there's always an empty seat for a fellow VXer! Heck ya can wheel mine some! This way, we KNOW you'll come next yr fo sho! We know T4B is coming next yr so you 2 can form a convoy!

    Ya! I'm not going to subject my VX to a drive like that either. I'll have a car trailer by next year to tow it behind the RV.

    Well this is mostly a timing issue - my project deadline has been extended to the 10th and excusing myself might seal my fate. I wasn't able to take time off to go to Wyoming and pick up the CJ anyway. My fate may be sealed already because of the aforementioned office politics tho. Things have gotten kinda ugly in "Mo-town"...

    Handee I was wondering why I didn't see more of your goofy typings lately... with the VX now on a lift, how's the Vetterrari comin?

    "Goofy" "Goofy".....oh well, they prolly thought "Socrates" was goofy back in his day.
    Oh and it's the darn "Vice" car that's keeping my budget drained. We did drive it a couple of blocks a week ago, gonna highway road test it this coming week. Maybe another couple of months and it's done...talk about a money pit.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"

    Funny you should say that about the pics, one of my friends took pictures (movie) with his phone and e-mailed them to me. I tried to post them but something about the format not being right. With what I know about cars and computers I can understand no floormats but how can it be the wrong format ? Yes, it would look nice in Proton and make a very fast Taxi.
