Re: Typhoon warning

Tow trucks all around NJ are warming up their engines :)

Just checked and at present course and speed, arrives in NJ in 7 hours. Probably early tomorrow morning. Wish I could be there to see it come off the ship, upside down in the container all smashed to pieceds.

Should have checked the weather forecast for the past week. Oh well.

Dude,

I wish I could. I have a wedding in Austin TX that I forgot about. Not sure the truck would be up for the drive to be honest regardless. Got a minor brake problem to fix and then a weird drivetrain vibe - hoping it is just the propr shaft.

I aim to take it down to the Shindig though!

Re: Typhoon warning

Well, I found that noone wanted to give me a decent price for insurance so I started looking internationally.

I got an expat price for half the cost but it doesn't have 3rd party liability so I called around. My lack of a US licence also didn't help.

I called GEICO and ended up speaking to their supervisor who was asking about all the mods - turbo, trans, steering etc and I finally got a 6 month quote for the 15/30k minimum at 99 per month.

I haven't got my collision/theft coverage yet but that is also $99 per month. Any way I slice it, looks like I'm paying through the ass. Still, I have got cover for now so I am legal.

I won't be driving it that much and it's in a secure car park. Plus I'll be disabling it when not driving it. You can't get a tow truck in there so I should be ok for the time being.

Re: Typhoon warning

make sure dennis fixes the trailer before putting your truck on it, last i heard it was in really bad shape with pieces flying off of it on the highway.

good luck and try not to step on dennis, he is kind of small.
