This was out of the blue...My wife and I planned a trip to Santa Barbra ( about 2.5 hours )Trip She said LETS TAKE THE 914! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ....My car drives ok, but man I don't know about driving her that far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I'm I just a wimp....It was on a flat bed trailer before.If you know what I mean.\Not to sure if I can trust her. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
