Default Made it Back to Cali...

the trip was an awesome experience for me. I was able to do some sightseeing along the way, meet very interesting people, and of course get to drive the SRT across the country. Did it in 3 1/2 days. I drove 2K miles straight in a day and a half just beast mode with no sleep not sure how I did it.


I did have a accident with the car. I was east of Albuquerque, NM coming into the city around 12:15am and a truck down the way had blew a tire and it was in the middle of the fast lane as I was going about 65-70. Completely dark with no cars around and I had a split second to swerve and try to avoid it even with the headlights, but it clipped my passenger side of the car and went completely under the car. As I did this I went off the road and the car slid into the median of a gravel ditch and which shot rocks up onto the car. Luckily I wasnt hurt and the car didnt sustain much damage. Thankfully it was driveable.

The bumper needs repainted, passenger fog light was destroyed, window has a big crack. I take it in next week, so I will add some stuff to her that I had planned anyways as she is being restored to perfection.

All in all the car got me home safe and drives like a dream. Also, I was able to meet Frank and he took very good care of the car and was upfront about everything. As soon as he punched it for the first time I was in love and ready to take her home.
