Quoted from NPO:

Wow, Rocko, you and I both made MASSIVE drives over the weekend. I drove from Melbourne, FL to Dayton, OH - 1020 miles - in 16 hours. I totally and completely 100% understand your enthusiasm and pain/recovery. I was starting to see imaginary friends the last half hour of my drive.
Congrats on your FT!!!! Man, that is some serious dedication.

Quoted from MonkeyGrass:

I love the dedication!!
Last year, a friend and I flew to Chicago, rented a U-Haul, and drove back to NC - for Police Force. He had a serious "thing" for that game. Of course, we find out when we get there, that the game is in a 3rd story converted attic/gameroom (complete with non-code narrow spiral staircase - I have NO idea how he even got it up there) and after 2 hours of nearly killing ourselves trying to get it down 3 flights of narrow stairs, we finally got it loaded in the U-Haul... only to have the truck refuse to start. Awesome!!
Next day, we get the truck swapped out, and end up with one that had a bad ECU!! At this point, the truck is loaded (with the pin and several personal belongings as he was relocating to NC) and we discover the problem as we're lurching and stuttering down Lake Shore Drive, in rush hour, with a Screw-Haul truck that won't go more than 45 mph and is bucking and lurching like a mechanical bull!! Now, keep in mind that this is the 4th of July. No service centers are open, we're pretty much stuck with this POS truck, so we decided to at least try to make the trip...
I kid you not - 2 1/2 days later, we finally make it to NC. It was brutal and we had serious doubts as to whether the truck was even going to make it thru WV. 15-20 mph the whole way thru the Blue Ridge. Nauseous, back aching and head throbbing from getting tossed around like popcorn inside a hot air popper. Fortunately, we took video of the ordeal and sent it to to VP of Customer Relations. Not only was the truck, gas, food and hotels, paid for by Screw-Haul, he even got his $1000 back for paying the movers. Which essentially, made the pinball machine FREE!
However, I would gladly kick out $1k to not go thru that ordeal EVER again. In the end, we got the pin, and it was practically free. So it was worth it, I guess... but wow man, that was one hell of a road trip! :O

My DeLorean back with a turbocharged VR6 engine installed, Eibach lowering springs, Spax performance adjustable shocks, Megasquirt 3.0 EFI, and Wilwood brake setup. Went in Nov 2013 and drove it home on Sunday.
All work listed was done at SEO Motorsports.
Boy, was it worth the money.

Did something similar for a FT before I got mine now. Not quite the 1500 miles, but 500 and an entire day wasted because the seller was an idiot... I was in and out in 10 min, nearly punched the guy I was so pissed.
