Yes, I could. The problem is, I'd rather have air ;) Also, my wife-to-be
and I decided we'd rather ride in something that doesn't require a stop
every couple hours cuz my butt is asleep and I can't feel my right leg
anymore.
And in other news, it turns out we aren't using my dad's truck anymore. He
still doesn't have the A/C in it, so he decided instead to have a trailer
hitch mounted on his Caprice and let us use it. Which also means I can let
Maria do some of the driving, since the truck has a stick and she can't
drive a stick, plus it should be a little easier on fuel than the truck.
