The money earned would pay to throw a Shop Christmas party. I miss the shop, lots of Good Times.

I have bought a new set of slicks past 4 years and bought my Hans device a few years ago with my scrap money...I have a 02 S-10 and a 4'X8' single axle trailer I haul it on.. I have pulled on the scales @10,400lbs before,the 10 and trailer weigh about 4200lbs....
the scrap yard is only about 3-4 miles away and I go about 25-35 mph and I have been nervous if I would make it there...
