Juhuuu
just signed up and booked rooms for the Power Tour.

This is going to be the last big thing before I relocate. After the tour the Mean Machine will have about 36.000mi driven in 28 month across the entire nation under her belt

Can you say Road Trip

I have been following your adventures with the machine for a while now and all I can say is you travel in style. Good luck on the power tour and with your relocation to Germany.

Thanks for the good wishes!

The tour runs from Milwauee Wi to Springfield Il, from there to Indianapolis In, Nashville Tn, Birmingham Al (I can sleep in my own bed that night), from there to Tallahassee Fl and ends in Kissimmee Fl.
The biggest stint will be from Tuscaloosa AL to Milwaukee Wi on Friday 3rd.
Can't hardly wait...

sounds like a great time, i wish i could see you there but i have to postpone until next year becuase the other car i was going with and planned to split hotel costs is my best friend who just got a DUI so that sort of threw a stick in the spokes, the other thing is i'd have to drive a ford if i went this year.... So next year i'll be there with a mopar, enjoy it and post lots of pictures for those of us that just couldn't make it out.

You'll have a blast.
As you drive through the small towns, the residents will fill the streets and treat it like a parade.
Last year was a blast! We had nearly 4000 cars haul from Arlington, TX to Green Bay.
Be prepared for long traffic delays. When you hit the small towns, many of 'em will direct traffic through the towns quickly. Mid size towns will experience heavy delays and 2 or 3 mile backups at traffic lights. Larger cities will be able to handle the traffic.
Remember that it's not about the destination. It's about the drive. Don't take short cuts. Don't try to beat everybody to the destination. Just sit back and cruise with a few thousand of your hot rodding bretheren.

Helluva deal.


We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind.

If anyone else is coming up to Milwaukee, gimme a holler. I'm not going on the tour, but I'd like to meet up with some of y'all. You can listen to my radio show if you're there on Saturday

All my best. I envy you! AND! I am sure the Mean Machine will handle the travel WAY BETTER than Christopher Titus' zillion dollar fan belt eating chevy shoe box did.


I’m listening.
