Ship it or drive it....

We drove a $400 76 Coupe D'Ville from San Diego to Chicago and we only owned the car since the night before! Started at about 10AM, hit Amarillo by about 3AM, slept for 3 hours and then drove through to Chicago. Made it there by about midnight IIRC, then a drunk in a station wagon ran a red and T-boned us. Walked away, left the Caddy to the tow truck driver. I took a train home, my buddy drove his fiancee back in a U-haul. We averaged about 85 the whole way as according to a Texas trooper who clocked us at 90 when our speedo said 70. That 500CID land yacht just cruuuuised! OKC to Chicago...that's about as boring a trip as the 5 through central Cali. And the Toll roads...? F that! One blow out/flat tire in Albequerque and no spare. drove the rim for 2 miles to a service station and bought a used tire...game on! .
