Fun Bus back home already. About 120 miles into the trip I got stuck in
that famous New Jersey Turnpike traffic. As I slowed down it didn�t want
to come out of 4th gear. When it did it let me know something was wrong.
Feels like cracked 3-4 slider hub. I drove to next exit and decided I
didn't need it leave me stranded in Florida so I milked it home. All gears
still there but definitely something wrong going from 3rd to 4th. Gonna
rest a few hours and then head down in the Benz.
