Re: Live from Oxford , MI - the Camaro COPO story - Part 3
On our way finally - we met in my driveway at 2:45 this morning and hooked my trailer to Jeff's dually .Got everything ? Coolers ? Check .Snacks ? Check.Directions ? Check.And off we got but not without drama .About 160 miles into our journey the truck starts acting funny -sputtering going uphills - smelling terrible so we pulled off the highway ( rt 80 west ) to have a look at whats going on .After a few minutes we decided that the problem is a faulty fuel gage and we're out of gas .No big deal right ? It is when you don't have any gas and no stations nearby .After searching thru my trailer I find a few gallons - that right - Jeff's truck runs really well on VP C-11 . Ouch .This is not the way to start off a fun trip .But we're back on the highway and tooling along just fine .
This afternoon we are to enjoy a real car guys treat - a private tour of the General Motors Heritage Museum - talk about excited .............later . PS- Yes , that's Jeff filling up an extra gas can just in case ..........

Jack , better get the big Sharpie out and mark that jug, cause you know with your organizing skills in the trailer , that jug will end up in the Camaro sometime next year.
