Thread: Breakdowns on the road w/o correct tools to fix

Tweet

A friend of mine used to fly down to Florida every Spring and pickup his Dad, who spent the winters here, and drive him and his car back to Pennsylvania for him.

One year a rainstorm came up and the wipers quit working, so my friend ran a small rope around the wiper arms and ran the ends in through the vent windows on either side. For hours they drove along, and his Dad would pull the wiper blades one direction, and then my friend would pull them back the other way. They kept up this back and forth pulling until the rain stopped.

I would have loved to have a video of that one.

I spent 4 days in Wamsutter Wyoming with my son when we lost a u joint in my 51 Frazer. The reason it took so long was because it took 2 days to find one. Then Fed Ex couldn't find Wamsutter. The actual repair only took about an hour (after I told them how to do it)!

I can say that it was an expensive breakdown, but well worth it considering I got to spend some quality time with my son!!!!!

I've been to Wyoming a few times and have spent alot of time in Cody. Where is Wamsutter? Wyoming is nice with alot a open straight roads where you can really push your vehicle.

Wamsutter is between Rock Springs and Rawlings on I-80. Its 75 miles in either direction!
