I just don't know how I am going to get to the convention.
I may trailer the '89, and Jan will drive the 96 since she
wants an automatic for the track event. I want the '89 for
sure. With the big trailer, I could also bring other surprises!
Problem is that Jan and I enjoy travelling together so much
we hate to take two vehicles! BUt it isn't a long haul this
year, we can handle it for four hours!
