The Traverse City show was a super way to spend the day with the '55, it was a loong trip though. Almost turned around near Gary, IN because I left my bag with cloths, kit, cash, etc @ home.
After a good 1/2 dozen F bombs, what can't a trip to the next Target fix?
Next was a quick detour towards Lansing while my navigator putzes with the GPS but we got back on course via the scenic route :)
Traverse City seemed within reach that night until my vapor lock symptoms showed up again. Nope, I ran out of fuel. Now normally, I carry a gallon in the trunk as the gauge is a little flakey but clearly there was not a good 50+ miles left in the tank. Lost about an hour but a cool Sumerian beat AAA and hauled me to the nearest petrol stop.
Friday morning all was well as we drove though town & saw Packards on the road :)
