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

You made it out of the 'hood where ya bought it. Nobody ran you over on the freeway when you broke down. You met a couple of new great friends. You have a plan. You have stories to tell for the rest of forever about the adventure. And you're still hangin' with Dad on a cross country trip.
Sucks it went the way it did, but still sounds like a grand old time to me!
