12

Epic trip!

13

fixed that for you

14

OHHHH MY. You must change the decal on the bus to “winabango”!

Have fun!

Ohh an thanks for the stock tip. I just bought 50 more shares of BP fuel! lol

15

no way that thing is getting 10mpg. more like 5-7 if i had to guess… an old carbed 454 is going to burn some serious fuel moving that rig…

16

they should put a wideband on it and lean the carb out on the highway lol

17

haha… I was giving it the benefit of the doubt.

18

It was $3000. At least we’re splitting it between 7 people. It ends up being cheaper than renting.

10mpg is optimistic. Hoping for 8. At least with that new carb we can tune it on the fly.

I’m going to buy a flip cam for the trip. I’m hoping we have to use a run away truck ramp and I get it on film. Shit would be BOSS.
