Hey, since you’ve got it loaded, just keep driving east. I need a new one to replace one that didn’t survive the winter. Not that this one would have any leaves on it either by the time you got to IL.

This is actually in Massachusetts (drove across the country). The tree guys insisted that I keep it under 30 for the drive. Wasn't easy, but I made it happen...

I'm seriously thinking of just driving around with it. Telling anyone who asks: "the guy at the nursery said it was a 'shade tree.' And you know what-- it works great!"

And here I thought I was pushing it with this...




Actually the XKR handled these big boxes than the XJR could have...

An excellent redefinition of the SUV class.
The road pigs currently claiming that title should be renamed RRH (rug rat hauler).

Must have taken forever to get from CA to MA.

Knew I had a picture somewhere...


Its not 8-foot, but big enough.
My wife wanted a particular type of plant, so we drove to a nursery in Michigan to get one, but they didn't have any small ones.
It was too big in the back seat to put up the top, and a 30 MPH drive for 200 miles to get home, was not an option.
So we did a switch-er-roo, and put the plant in the front seat, and my wife in the back. She said the first 20 minutes were 'ok', but the final 2.5 hours were pretty uncomfortable (but she wanted the plant, so didn't complain 'too' much).
Did the 400+ miles on a single tank of gas, although I think I was running on vapors by the time we got home.
