    If I could find something that doesn't need a ton of body work or interior stuff, Id be interested... otherwise I dont plan on taking on another project like I had.

    Tom you could always get a really big car hauler. Fill it with rust free California cars and bring them to the Rust Belt (Midwest) to sell and pay for the trip.:thumbs2:

    There's an idea. (y) I know it's cheaper for me to trailer mine than to take two cars (where'd this 3rd kid come from? :huh: :D ), with the van getting 23mpg or so on the highway.

    My truck got 14 mpg on the way home pulling my car. I got about 5 MPG driving my heap around JOPLIN. :rofl2:
    I have often thought about a 2 car hauler, but where to keep it when not traveling :huh: mine is always in the way now.

    Do you have a 4.6 or 5.4?

    I get a little over 14 towing with my 351. Many guys that I have talked to have complained about poor mileage with the 5.4's.
