Thread: A little road trip to gather more poor financial decisions

This guy is a true hot rodder like us and is a great guy. He was showing me the 39 chevy coupe body he has and it is very tempting for the price he offered it to me. I might go back for better rear fenders and that shell..... IDK

We finally get it all strapped down, tires aired down on the back car to help eliminate it from moving, and I test the trailer lights. Of freakin course! No bleepin running lights! I tested the lights with my truck when I brought the trailer to my house and they were on then. I didn't check running lights when I left home because it was nice and sunny. I already knew I didn't have any fuses so we trucked back to a casey's I saw by the amphitheatre. Yeah sweet, there was a concert goin gon and people and police every where. About 20min in I figured out the fuses were ok. There were 2 wires pulled out of the trailer connector. The RH turn, and the running lamp wires. The turn wire was touching and working but the running lamp wire was mia

The only thing that saved my bacon was Clint went inside and asked to borrow a screw driver. The male cashier had no clue but the female pulled out a little screw driver kit and let us use it. If it wasn't for her we would have been stuck widdling something to use as a screw driver. I bought her dinner for the help.

I bought DEF and filled up the truck and put in the addy for home. I70 was close to us and I jumped on there to avoid the concert traffic etc. Just my luck I noticed the dam nav wanted me to take I70 for 70 miles and I said nope. I had Clint pull up our addy and we used it's directions to get us to I35. Of course after the off ramp for I70 traffic stopped. They were prepping for construction and had 4 lanes bottle necked into 1. Yep, perfect. I won't cry too much because nothing fell off and we got home at 2am. The kids have lots of memories and Colt has a lot to learn now. He's already been researching the oddities of the 1939 Oldsmobile. That car actually had a lot of hype due to it's suspension. Pretty cool.
