Title: I'll be gone
Post by: 94touring on April 24, 2009, 01:13:25 PM
I am moving from Arizona to North Carolina tomorrow and I'll be on the road for several days and then without internet for tne next few weeks I would imagine.  So see you guys then I guess.  In the meantime Joltfreak is the global mod in charge of all the action.  Anyone trying to register to the forum will have to wait for my approval once I get back online.

I'm moving back to Wilmington NC after being away for the past 6 years.  Lived there for 13 already.  Currently sitting in Monroe Lousinana at a Days Inn.  Only casualty so far on the trip was my mini's front plate got blasted off by a large piece of shredded rubber in the road.

In Atlanta Georgia now. 
 
Did the dumbest thing in the longest time, maybe my whole life.....put 87 pump into the diesel truck!  Stupid green pump, green handle, green worn out button I couldn't read.  I got about ten gallons into it before I realized what I was doing.  Thought maybe it wasn't enough to hurt it but it broke down in the middle of a mega busy intersection anyways.  Had to call the police to block traffic for me and the whole nine yards.  The Penske service station was literally 5 miles down the road and I got a quick tow over and fixed up.  Aside from major embarresment it could have been a lot worse I suppose.  I'm lucky I didn't get hit in the intersection, it was pretty bad to say the least.  The guys there were super helpfull and nice though.  The whole group of them even took turns getting pictures beside the mini.

Must have been one of those BP stations. Green everything! Don't feel bad, I have a friend that put diesel into his new 4runner in Colorado. Dealer said no problem, go ahead and drive it. Well it didn't last that long either.  dan

Hey Captain D,
  Glad to hear you made it.  Sounds like it was quite the drive.

Finished unpacking and settling in last night.  It's still going to be a week before the cable company makes their way out here.  Till then I'll be forced to steal poor reception from someone nearby with an unsecured network.   ;)
