Default She's home...

The Avanti's home. definitly not a creampuff but got a good base to work with. Its solid just cosmetically phucked.

Hell of a ride home... the trailer is scrap metal, I ws waiting for a big bump to break it in half. single axle, no breaks, driving the the mountains on the PA turnpike in a snow/ice storm...

I'll forgive you for not waving to me when you went past , you apparently needed both hands on the wheel . Lightning & thunder snow today along with sleet all blowing sideways . Congrats on your new to you Avanti , glad your both home safe .

And it ain't much fun.

When I bought my current Sonic from the broker in Chi town we knew I was fk'd as soon as we saw it. Being the loan was already done, I had no choice but to bend over.

My old Sonic towed for **** so I hoped this one would too. Told my buddy, "it's insured, we're going to do 90 all the way to Fla and hope the boats gone when we get there".
Of course the prick towed perfect

Congrats on your new project and pix's please.
