Wes, I've got the next 4 days with nothing to do but stink. I'm in GA, but if needed, I'd be willing to go along.

Stay safe until I see ya.

We've been to 4 (only registered for three). Drove up in a Toyota FJ Cruiser engineering prototype vic in '07 that needed miles put on it for verification of pre-production parts; drove the '62 and raced it at BG in '08, flew out with my son in '09, and drove with Mei from Ft Knox in my '67 SWB truck in '10.

The FJ turned more heads and sparked more conversation than the 62 during the cross-country trip. I found that mildy amusing. The 62 wasn't without a few minor issues, but it made it. We didn't hang-out much in '10, just stopped-in on our way to Nashville.

They also made another Ci with Reb with them but minus the Corvette.

Wes, how many years total will you have when you get out in November?
I'll only be halfway there when we get back. Toyota is holding my job until 1 NOV, they extended it from 28 JUL, so I could do the full deployment (I couldn't see myself being a PL and leaving before my men). I haven't dropped my packet to get out yet, I'm waiting until the last minute incase my ex-wife gets hit by a bus, which would allow me to stay active duty and move with my son. Barring that, I will be returning to the 1st Civ Div.

I hear ya, I missed 4 wedding anniversaries and 3 of my son's birthdays because I live apart from the family.

I got a picture on my wall of me and the family taken right before I left for OCS in Jul '09, and my son wasn't up to my chin, and my wife was blonde. Now the little shit is taller than me (so I'm told) and the wife had black hair last time I saw her.

Thanks for the offer, but she won't be going there. We overnighted the payment, and the car will be getting picked-up by the shipper on Sunday or Monday.

Besides, Vegas over St Patrick's Day weekend would be a friggin zoo.
