Cat Jam 2006 Reply #541 – July 25, 2006, 10:33:33 PM We made it back late Sun night.1st Rule Never brag on your 15 year trailer when you are 500 miles from home with it. 2nd Rule travel in #'s is a good thing. When you stop for gas and fire shouts out of your alt have Washer Solvent close to put the fire out. Quote Selected
Cat Jam 2006 Reply #542 – July 25, 2006, 10:42:42 PM Here is a pic for rule#1 the pic is of the side of my trailer were the spare used to mount. We were travling down Instate 76 in the middle lane running around 70 MPH. The spare and mount came OFF landed in the front of a late model Chevy P/U and bonce over topof the truck. Landed in the middle of the HWY and nobody ran over it. LUCKY LUCKY. RUle # 2 can be exsplained by that person it effected. Quote Selected

Cat Jam 2006 Reply #544 – July 26, 2006, 09:55:22 AM Had to add another post to tell everyone they made a VERY good impression on my nephew. He's 15 and has had his eye on getting a old Mustang to fix up for his first car. After going to his first CJ, and being so impressed with the friendliness of y'all, he now has his eyes set on a Cougar for his first so he can take it to CJ! He has already asked to join me at CJ07 (if he doesn't have his own yet, that is). All he talked about for two days (other than the "awesome" cars) was how nice and friendly everyone was. I already knew this, but thanks for making such a great impression on him. Quote Selected
