Yeah, it's easy for us to sit here and arm chair quarterback Brian's life. And yes, I've been on both sides of that fence too. If he's really had it as long as he needs it, then it's probably worth more to sell in CA than UT. He is starting a whole new chapter in his book of life and if the GS isn't a part of that, only he can decide if he is REALLY ready to let it go.
I'll just say this. The drive back in a comfortable vehicle won't be nearly as time consuming, or exhausting as in the moving truck. My perspective of miles and time are far different than most. 3 weeks ago, I drove to Buffalo NY and back in 42 hours, for a friggen fender.... 1900 miles. When I was doing the winter OTR, I would run 3,300 miles in 4.5-5 days, so I could be home on the weekends. Driving long distances isn't daunting to me. What I consider "normal", most people consider crazy... ![]() |

A 3 on the tree is the single most effective anti-theft device ever made!
How many people (now) can use one? I keep seeing stories about attempted carjackings that were foiled because the idiot couldn't drive a stickshift - never mind a 3 on the tree! |

I'm gonna put this out there now... there will be no garage time for me today. Today is my 26th anniversary, and I will be spending it with the woman who has been putting up with me for all of those years (plus an additional 4 that we were dating). We will be having dinner at a nice restaurant on the river this evening, enjoying the view.

Happy anni, Dave.
![]() My 68 Malibu when I was 17 was 3 on the tree. When I got it. Not for long though. They still had shifters and glasspacks at department stores. I remember having just gotten my senior ring but didn't want to take it off to wrench on junk but I boogered it up doing the floor shift conversion. Then lost it. A slightly misadjusted (worn out) backdrive can be a good theft deterrant too. ![]() |

![]() IDJ mentions converting the column to floor. My third car was a '64 Galaxy, 352 3 on the tree. It soon had a Hurst floor conversion and a 390 under the hood. It was fun and could hold it's own against a few cars, but I kept getting beat by those damned Chevrolet big block cars, so I sold it for a '68 Chevelle SS.....yep with a 4 speed. I love manual transmissions, even after making umpteen million gear changes with a Road Ranger 13 speed for 28 years... ![]() ![]() |
