Very glad to hear you made it safely!! I'll bet you are glad you didn't listen to those downers that are too afraid to make a trip like this.

Got home late last night. Not one problem with the car. About all we did was generate a lot of dirty motor oil. Very smooth trip. It poured rain through most of Florida and south Texas.

Memo to those we met in Alabama- You were the nicest people we met the whole trip. I could easily see moving there.

Memo to those we met in Mississippi- You too!

For the Model A that was on the trailer in the panhandle of Florida- Drive it next time!! Ha ha.

Congratulations. I am so jealous that I could not make the trip.

Heck, I did 2,800 miles last year bringing home a car I bought sight unseen. What's the big deal? LOL!

What I as most worried about was an engine bearing going out. That would have put me on the trailer. Anything else, I was going to try to repair.

All that being said, I would have gladly accompanied you on this trip.
