  1. Also at the memorial and this says it all....have a good one!
  2. Almost forgot about visiting the OKC memorial site!
  3. Someone isn't happy sitting in this crate!
  4. Here are some other pics from this morning drive from Amarillo. Started out with light snow and ice.
  5. Update: Made it to Albuquerque and the view is great from our hotel. The Sandia mountain range I think. This is the first time being in this type of altitude and we are feeling it. Dizzy, headaches and we just want to sleep. Going even higher tomorrow as we head to Flagstaff.
  6. Thanks Scott! Being that we are about to have our first child she may have to go next year. On this trip we are finding out that a Jetta may not hold all of us (child and cat). I may go the 300 SRT8 route or Grand Cherokee (the outgoing model not that new thing). We'll see!
  7. Yeah watch the edges on that Ford paint. I came close to burning through on my bumper.
  8. They help me cut down on removing my wheels to clean the barrel. Awesome product!
  9. I had someone in SC ask me "Are those only sold in Cali? And why did i bring it east?". My wife just shook her head and i just told him to have a good day! That was a weird exchange of questions...lol
  10. Ewww two trucks...ouch!
  11. Thanks Scott! Good thing we looked at the weather channel this morning. I-40 heading to OKC could be very disastrous today. I put out an APB on some ribs...Memphis watch out!
  12. Oh one more shot since I miss driving her...
  13. I just wanted to let others in on my experience of trying to ship my car across country. We recieved orders in August to finish my career off at sea. Moving from Virginia to San Diego. At that point I started off looking for an auto transport company. With two cars one getting 60 mpg I wasn't driving this uncomfortable thing. I made reservations with Reliable carriers based off recommendations since originally I wanted it enclosed. I told them to meet me in South Carolina and they gave me a two week window. We arrived here visiting family and the two weeks came and went. I called them and they told me they extended the window out a month and a half....all without notifying me. Knowing we need to be there April 9th they tell me they'll pick it up April 20th. A call the next few days and no one answers the phone. Ok, so I give that one up and contacted another company that was local. He tells me he can pick it up in two days. That came and he never showed. Call them and no one answers. Now, we are at the point of needing to start driving across country. I tried one last time with one more company. Safeway car transport stepped up to the plate. Mike Newson hooked me up with a transporter that within three days (March 27th) picked my car up. Although, it wasn't enclosed it saved me $1000. The driver seemed pretty good and knowledgeable. Long story short if you need a transporter give them a try! Now on to driving across country with a pregnant wife and cat in the back seat...This should be fun! Update: (as of today) Driving started and we are stuck or on hold in Memphis. Looking at the weather for our next stop in OKC looks bad. We have a giant Yakima box on our car and its like a sail in the wind. And it's tornado season....looks like we'll get some Memphis BBQ after all!
  14. Showing up to the dance...late....lol. Still ugly IMO no matter what type of brakes are on it!
  15. Nice! Any other plans for it?
  16. Nice! A few more weeks and I'll enjoy some of that SoCal weather!
  17. This is my take on it. I'm not a "high roller" just another tax paying person married and no kids. With that being said I do not agree with rewarding bad behavior. Giving free money to a person or family just because they have kids makes no sense. If that family or person paid in let's say 5k but is given 6k what did they pay in? Or giving a company free tax payer money to off set their costs for sending jobs overseas. The lists go on and on. The system is completely broken and will never be fixed. Too many mil/billionaires have gamed the system to fix it.
  18. Here is the ship i was on three years ago. Never trust one source of navigation aid!
