The dragon's tail is a long way from I-95.

There is a list of Florida members in my blog.

Good luck!

I'm about 5 miles off the southern 295 / 95 loop around Jacksonville. I'll PM you a phone number if you want to drop by / meet or if you need anything while traveling through.

i was thinking .....
as a saftey measure for the drive, have you thought about getting a tow hitch on your son's car and then get one of david lee's tow bars from http://www.rennenmetal.com/ . incase of a breakdown. you could atleast tow it off of 95 or to a shop.

i recently bought one of his tow bars, great product!!

BTW, what is your name?

Posted by: firstknight13 Dec 6 2006, 10:07 PM

oh......... you can call me "ray"

...Or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Ray Jay...

Yo man, you are gonna do that trip on the tranny that I bandaided for you at the ECC? Are you nuts! I guess you dont really need the lower gears if there is no traffic and you stay on the freeway.

I'll be able to bail your ass out if you crap out by my house, but I wont be back until X-mass night. I wish I had a spare tranny I could throw in for ya.

May the force be with you!

<edit> There's a big article in the sunday courant about your route to FL. Its on the first page of the travel section - talks about trouble spots and such. If you didn't get a sunday paper I can give you my copy.
