    Hannibal at the House.

    Brought her home and slicked her up yesterday. Picked up my 7 year old son from school also. He just flipped! Coolest thing he'd ever seen. He got lots of waves from people on the street.

    Hannibal is here

    Final destination! Pics of her before leaving the flatbed and the new owner behind the wheel. She's a nice runner and a people magnet. Love that short wheel base especially in the city.
