You have to overlook that part. Register it as an RV. Add to the fact that it's big & macho, and not something you see every day.
What about another IDI? http://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/2786682017.html

Yeah get the one in Modesto. At least it is a Ford. And it has your favorite engine in it. Two reasons to skip that suburban.

Yeah, I was going to ask who won the Raintona today, but I guess the postponed it.

I'm actually spending the morning relaxing and catching up here at home...spent the weekend in the Bay Area working on a dual battery installation on a Land Rover. Thought it would be a nice relaxing job, been 60s-70s here the last few days so I thought it would be the same down in Woodside...wrong! I was up on top of a mountain with coastal influence, it was high 30s/low 40s all weekend not counting wind chill and I was working out in the driveway since he can't get his tall Disco into the garage. Froze my little fingers and toes...! (And no, I don't wanna hear how cold it is up in Canada right now...!)

Ah, the joys of working on weekends. You get to have a five day week to recover.

No, pretty soon I have to get off my butt and go outside, get back to work on the Rover sitting in my driveway so I can get it finished and back to the owner (and get paid!)

I would not even try to get the burb with that F-250 available. But that is just me.
