It was loud, lacked efficiency and costly. With it getting used last year, not many problems with it. Actually, I haven't stayed in it too long during the summer myself...maybe here and there. It gets warm in there tho, it was sort of my shed away from home for while there.

Getting a few of quarks worked out....while I decide what to do with it.

Mornin' Bear.

Brew, I keep getting the urge to get a trailer. Don't know that I'd use it much though, and I really don't want it taking up parking spaces.

Really hoping my Grandmother lets me keep the Lincoln in her garage for a while still.

It would look good behind that 89.

Hahahaha... my friend actually tows a utility trailer with his. I always get a chuckle that a Mustang that runs 11.2 (at 4200 feet above sea level) is pulling a trailer.

He keeps spare parts in it and tows it to the track and car shows. It also might be his adult beverage container.

Hahaha.... nope. I haven't watched that in several years, actually. Probably ought to.

I get to see it outside my window all the time though. There's pretty nice one straight out from me. Kind of upscale compared to some of the other trash that's been out here. Reminds me of that Sesame Street song "One of these things is not like the other".

My step dad had one sort of like that. It was a Freightliner with a Perkins Diesel, a conventional tho, it had a nose on it. That thing was a beast. He used for a side business, pulled a concession trailer with it. Not my cup of tea. Definitely couldn't knock it, he did very well with it, and it looked pretty sweet.

Oh yea, his buddy had one as well, use to park at their house between shows. His was Peterbuilt I believe, he pulled a Nascar you could drive in place. That was a cool set up as well. Those guys knocked down some pretty good cash and had fun doin it. They were on TV once, made the news lol.

There was another guy that did the same with a Dragster...crazy stuff!

I was thinking about doing the "Good Guys" show this weekend. Doesn't look like they'll let me in though, even though there are very little differences between the 87 and 89 Mustang, visually.

On that trailer... another friend of ours built it for him, and then he painted it to match the Mustang. Looks really cool, actually.
