Well, there was a whole row of Corvettes just right next door. If I ever do show it again, I will message you!
thank you for the thought but we arent in the same state for me to see it at a car show unfortunately if you were to show it again.

Maybe we should make the scene on Woodward Avenue this summer.

Detroit is also not a place to take a ext cab long box F250

One of the most nerve wracking moments of my life was trying to shoehorn it through a parking garage to park.

I totally get that. I live in Saint Paul. Most driving is short errands. That's why I bought a regular cab with the standard bed. The wheelbase is about the same as a sedan.

I live in a rural area. Parking is never an issue. But i shoulda took the wifes escape.

I figured i could park on the street somewhere but it was all packed. It was auto show weekend.

I could hear my antenna smacking the rafters in the building. Finally found a spot against a wall i could squeeze in.

I shit you not i made a 20pt turn and had to squeeze my fat ass out the sliding window. No joke.

Then on the way out i couldnt find the damn thing. Walked around 30 mins looking for it. I was on the wrong floor

Some of the roads around here are almost undriveable. So much for fixing the damn roads.
