When i first read this thread - the first thing that popped into my head
was hmm - I could tow it back for them from CO. Then I got to thinking
that would be another 1600 miles for me out to Jons and then back home.
  I honestly won't be able to afford the fuel required to drive that
extra 1600 miles. As it is I've canceled my plans to go to Califorina
after the meet.

Anyway - I'm more than willing to offer my driving services to help get
this little flatty back to Jons. Just with the condition I get to drive
it once in a while at a BBQ :D Jason - hit me off list and lets work
out the details and see what we can do.
