OMG do NOT remind me of this trip.  I felt absolutely
horrible having not verified that crap before you headed
out here, to say nothing of the issues the car ended up
having.

I can't say I've had a really horrible trip.  Probably the
closest one to a bad trip was the one I took to Dallas in
the back of my own Scirocco to pick up a '79 that hadn't
been driven in 6-8 months.  It made it home but by the time
we got here the points were so bad the car would barely
run.  In fact, after arrival, it refused to start.

But she still made it.
