what a journey it was.....

well i finally picked up my trans am...and the story goes like this wednesday: called uhaul to confirm auto transport reservation, "sir it looks like we dont have the equipment available" well after hassle i got ahold of one in vacaville which meant i had to go out of the way 50 miles, than take 101south bound to pick it up so about the only thing really memorable was the 1,000 miles i did left thursday at 8am, and drove non stop minus 5 tanks of gas/food, i get to the sellers house drop off the trailer than drive south to la to meet to buy some car part but wasnt how it was supposed to turn out so it was a waste of 1 tank of gas and several hours, drive back pick up the car and trailer, arrived in sac dropped the car off and

head back to vacaville to return the trailor when about 20 miles out of sac. i hit a bump and bam, and holy crap my truck is goin all over the place and cars are swearving.. the damn trailer hitch thing broke the trailer not my truck.....luckily the saftey chains held it to the truck somewhat.....damn near caused a pile up.. only bad part about this whole 1,000 miles in 24hrs non stop drive no sleep was i let the car sit too long in bad weather rusted the hood/ orignal tpi block oh well ...

edit: oh and forgot no music the whole time that sucked, my truck is a 78 k20 so no system is setup in it yet.
