"I'm starting to get some twisted pleasure driving like a geezer"
Old crotchety coots across the land welcome you to the ranks.
Upcoming 1,600 mile trek, pondering the plausability of poking along at 65 mph vice the 75 allowed for much of the trip.
And, considering dropping down to 55 mph when ascending sundry uphill grades.
But, boredom factor may compel Coot to hammer down, accepting the decreased mpgs, and scooting along at 75 mph.
If broadcast TV news was reporting this yah' know the teleprompter-reading babbler would assert THE WORLD is breathlessly watching to see what decision Coot will make.
May report upon return what Coot decided to do and what mpgs were attained with the 5,000 pound engine of death and destruction with the 4.8 liter-sized 8-cylinder engine coupled to the 4-speed auto tranny rotating the steel driveshaft sending propuksive power to the 3.73 ratio differential device that ultimately rotates the 16-inch round rubbery things where the power meets the Earth's surface.
Of course, the world will be eagerly anticipating the possible future reportage of the trip.
May even take some pics to shock and awe the masses perched upon their chairs in avid anticipation of any possible posts regarding the trip.
For those wanting to clutch onto every possible aspect of the trip post thine map upon the wall and, from the general vicinity of Omaha Nebraska trace I-80 to Sacramento California then Highway 99 south to a wee bit south of Turlock California, a couple miles west of Hwy 99 a few mile north of Hilmar CA.
Retrace route for trip back to the shanty.
Donations accepted and signed pics available at a nominal fee, if taken.
As seen on TV.
Film at 11.
That is, if Coot survices the journey...... what with the masses of idiots filling the highways and byways, in semi-control of their conveyances with a mere 7 or 8 brain cells devoted to the task of driving their engine of death and destruction.
Boy Howdy.
Yep.
