Subject:road trip to georgia..
Date:Wed, 7 Mar 2007 02:18:22 EST

well i finally made it down to georgia to get my '91 westy that had been
sitting in my dad's driveway in Atlanta for the past 2 years..(long story - he was
moving..i had to finally get it  - this road trip was 2 years in the making)
..   i left on the 1st of feb and got back a little over a week ago..    i
missed all that *wonderful* snow we had here on valentines day (thank god) ..
anyway the van performed flawlessly on the trip....

all 5.8 gas guzzling liters of it..   the ford E250, that is :<)     i towed
my dads E420 down to him, the ford loaded with some vanagon parts i was
dropping off for some folks down south and some furniture for my dads new place..and
then towed the westy back.. the ford filled with parts from a '89
whitestar/wolfsburg van i stripped while i was down there..

first off let me say on the whole trip i saw absolutely ZERO vanagons.
i did see one eurovan rialta with florida plates heading down south though..
 that was it.
as a known rule, the southeast is generally void of volkswagens...especially
vw vans..

domestics rule down there..  especially pickup trucks..

anyway i spent time w/. family and relatives in atlanta and savannah..nice
and warm there.. it was nice to be away from the cold..   but sucks to return to
it..
i came back to a unplowed driveway of ice..

im ready for spring!
