I will be rolling into the Carlisle Fairground on early Thursday (tomorrow), and into the ZR-1 Net Registry area. I can't wait to personally thank you for all the work you did to allow us to share in your incredible journey. It is clear that this was a "labor of love"...and a dream-fulfilled.

Awesome...just awesome...!!!

Thanks again, Rick Moore

Jim, welcome home. I don't remember you posting a single issue with the car. True?

There were no issues. I did leave the interior lights on one night and had a dead battery in the morning.

A lot of the 10,000 miles were on regular gas. Premium was just not available in many places. The car ran fine. I wasn't driving hard, but there was no problem with the gas.

I fully expected to see the car pull into the lot and as you got out the doors, hood, trunk and fenders would all simultaneously pop off the car, a la The Blues Brothers when they arrived at City Hall! --Bob

Nah that only happens when you own a 1970's Dodge
