Oh come on, Daniel, tell us how you really feel!<G> They can a pain. 
Frankly I hate driving my Chevy pickup (fullsize, extended cab, short bed 
so it's still on the long wheelbase) around town and parking is really a 
hassle. I miss my 88 Integra, certainly the mileage.

BUT, it will carry/tow a bunch, in comfort. I bought it primarily to tow 
the race car on longer trips. It's also the only vehicle that I've owned 
in my 52 years that's only accumulated 13K miles in 17 months. Did I 
mention I don't like driving it much?

We'll be going south to San Diego the week after Shasta for a family 
reunion and to visit old friends and haunts in Riverside and LA. First 
thing I'll do is drop the trailer and car off in SD and then head back 
north. The truck will be big enough handful on the LA area freeways. 
Maybe we'll be able to borrow Elayne's cousin's Audi A6.

Ain't traffic fun?, Ron
