Well i didn't make it up there ended up getting an ALS shift with the local ambulance company. It rocked. I guess i'll have to put another weekend to drive out there.
i might try to head out there to check it out with the gf tomorrow.... depending i gotta call him and see if anyone is there. What is the overall condition of the trucks he sells anyone have a clue?
