Drive from Chicago to FL

[Motorhead350]

I am passing though Indy, Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta and arriving in Orlando.

If anyone wants to meet up for a bite or coffee let me know. I am driving the $300 van. It's already proven itself for nearly all of Ohio and a run to Detroit and back.

Message me if you wanna meet up.

I am planning on leaving next monday at 5am or 6am my time. Time of departure may change.

Black Top Rollin'. :burnout:

[STEPS]

are you coming thru Jacksonville?

[Motorhead350]

Why do a few of you think I already left? I am still in town until monday morning.

I am going to Orlando, I think Jacksonville is a little west of my route, but I will check a map.

[Bigdogjim]

Have a good trip and stay safe.

[martyo]

Ouch......my eyes!!:help:

My pole has been known to put an eye or two out.

[J-MAN]

Safe travels.

I'm traveling from NC to south Fla tomorrow myself. Traveling down I95 so I might see you on the road.

[Motorhead350]

Sounds good. PM me if you wish. I will be in the $300 toilet going down the road.

Not sure your paths will cross if I understand Dom's travel schedule correctly but you are both welcome to stop by!

[Motorhead350]

Wow. Look at this guy! ^^^

[RF Overlord]

Godspeed, Dom. Hope you make it there and back in one piece...or two at the most. :D

[Motorhead350]

Mo is quote a guy. Him, his wife, his shop... like a breath of fresh air. I did not know what I did to deserve such kindness. Seriously. Big thank you.

In the words of Canned Heat... I'm on the road again.

[martyo]

Dom is was good to finally meet you in person. My wife and I had a great time getting to know you better. The bad part is now my wife has a thing for guys with green hair!!

Mo's Speed Shop = Worth their weight in gold.

Picture of Dom's POS $300 van in front of Mo's = Priceless.

Nice finally meeting you in person Dom.

Breakfast with Dom first thing in the morning green eggs(hair) and ham....good times.

The $300 dollar wonder pulling in to the scene of the crime.....Priceless

[Motorhead350]

I blew up the picture and it's a really cool shot! Looks like something from a Quentin Tarantino film. Jackie Brown?

That made me laugh but I appreciate it.

You do realize that was NOT the commercial shop, right?

[Motorhead350]

Nothing like a blow out at 70mph. We are fine. Time to keep moving.

[Blackmobile]

Well at least you're around to talk about it, as I've noted, tires that spend most of their life in local travels don't fair well with the heat generated on long trips.

His tires looked tired when he came back through my way today.

As luck would have it I had a set of wheels and tires that were on the Church Van that I used as a donor for the Poverty Wagon.

Dom and I hustled the wheels and tires off my van and on to his and he was back on the road in no time and I caught my flight with no fuss no muss.

I have decided I like Dom in person better than on the Internet.

Oh and I got to meet Momma and Poppa Dom as a bonus!

[Motorhead350]

Here is the donor van.

Here is how bad the explosion was... it bent the body of the van outward!

Also the side pipe went up against the body. Wow.

Mo is something else. I cannot believe this guy. One of the nicest I have ever met. I also liked the fact that we did the work so quickly. It was like being in a pit crew or in this case Junkyard Wars. Lol!

The van now has a bit of a hot rod stance.

Martyo, I cannot thank you enough for helping me out all of the sudden. My parents like you too!

More raves to come. Long way to go still.

[Mebot]

This is awesome on so many levels. First: great road trip story as well as getting that van up and running in the first place. Secondly: showcasing the service and community we have here is second to none. Thirdly: you're just reinforcing what everyone already knows: Mo is the man

[Motorhead350]

I made it home around 4am.

Here is the new stance.

Good seeing all of you.

I cannot say enough about Martyo. David is great too. See you all down the road.
