hmm... I was hoping to be back in rochester on the 22nd. I don't
think people would be too pissed about a 1 day delay. around noon I
think would be best for me. if you're not going to be there that
early, I'll put it off until I'm settled in back on campus and can make
a real trip out of it, with company.

boy, that sounds like me.... the reason I haven't traded this for a
quad cab is because I need the bed length - too bad for the 3rd
passenger =)
I don't even know what I'd drive if I had unlimited money.... either
the same thing, just the way I want it, or about 35 different vehicles
from a Mini Cooper S to an XJ to an M3 to an X5 or Toureg to a
tube-chassied off-road monster and a one ton diesel to pull it (and
everything else, whether it wants to come or not)....

I'll have to go along with the masses here: lots of Cummins power and
stacks are required =)
