1600mi Road Trip! Only made it 20mi...

Good on those guys helping out.
Good to have that support, even though your trip didn't work out.

I had a 89 Shelby Dakota that I thought I could drive anywhere on a minutes notice.
Then I took a 2 hour interstate trip which dislodged crud and clogged the radiator.
Ever since then, I think long and hard about road trips.
