In know a guy from NY who moved to Walker Town, NC area. It took a while but, he got all 32 of his vehicles down there.
Been here since 2015 from CT and only had to bring down 3 cars.
Wife was not happy they were coming but I had all of them before her and they were not going till she went. I still have her & the cars, she's a keeper as are the cars.
I cant even think of moving and then 32 cars on top of that!

Nothing like going to sign the papers for the house pulling a car trailer with car & truck packed with stuff. Had to go back up for cats so the 2nd car came down then.
The 3rd I was on my own to bring down, wife was home with fur kids.

Good Saturday morning North Carolina. Daughter and her husband, from Archer Lodge area, are coming for a brief visit today. I sent them directions for the best way to sneak over the border...

Good morning everyone.
Never made it the 3 miles down the road for the car show at West Johnston High School.
Friday when I got home from work had a little sore throat well Saturday morning it was a full on head cold.
I hope it is gone enough for work tomorrow. Nothing worst then working when sick.

Good morning fellers!

Shari and I volunteered with the Parks Department Saturday morning, cleaning up winter storm damage at the Lexington Battlefield. The things I'll do for a free T-shirt, and pizza. Sunday with the house to myself, it was back to work in our back yard, also cleaning up from winter storm damage. That 60' pine tree makes a heck of a mess, between needles and limbs coming down.
I do a little Volunteer work with the Lexington Police Dept, and the Chief want's me to get a hold of him this week. Hope it's something that will keep me out of the house a while.

Unk Bob

Dave, only two trucks (technically street legal), a jeep (also street ready - just needs an inspection) a motorcycle and a hatchback Honda are the only vehicles. It's the shop stuff that is going to be a pain. Three bay tool box, single bay tool box, 2 engine stands, engine hoist, 10 foot stainless steel workbench, etc. etc. All manufacturer shop manuals for Mercedes Benz from the 90's and 00's. I don't plan on getting rid of them.
