You have to look at the individual specs on each one. Most of these are designed for heavier loads and won't give you much, if any flex at 10k. Especially the Gen-Y torsion unit.

I'm sure Eclipse will not be the last to go under. The RV market is continuing to soften. Anyone that does not have the financial ability to make it through this period will either disappear or get bought by the big entities. The worst part is this is bad for the end consumer. Consolidation and...

So coming home I did go a different route. I left Glamis and drove to Vegas via Blythe, Needles and into Vegas. It's pretty amazing when you cross the state line into Nevada and the roads become smooth as silk. After Vegas I drove up to Sand Mountain and met @Justdirt there. We had a fun couple...

The kind that go vroom vroom! 😀😀 It’s not outrageous. It showed 791 on the dyno at the rear wheels. Plenty for me. I wanted it to run pump gas.

Those lights are for my wife. I took her to the SSSS and she them in a Funco on display. She said she wanted them. Least I could for her I guess.

I thought about it but didn’t want to have to get a bigger trailer to haul it

It was a short first trip to Glamis. Got chased away by the wind. I got a few hours of just basic back and forth around pad 2.5 only. But it was very worthwhile. Especially when Chad George came out and give me a little driving lesson and answered all my silly questions. As far the car - I...

Good perspectives - thank you. I guess it can’t be all that bad or why would millions of people live here right? I’m very familiar with San Diego, we have a division there I’m responsible for so I travel there quite often. Great Mexican restaurants there, something we are sorely lacking up in my...

Is that based on quality of dunes? Sand Mountain is closer to my route I believe and have a friend that will meet me there so I’m not duning alone

So were any of my observations inaccurate? Road conditions, traffic and the like? Sorry if I touched a nerve. Glad you like it here.

I think I’m going to drive back thru Nevada. It adds about 2 hours but hopefully no traffic. Even if it is 2 hours longer it has to better than I-5 and worth the extra time. And if Glamis is a bust due to wind or whatever maybe I’ll leave early and detour to Sand Mountain to check it out and...

Just drove two days from Oregon to Palm Springs. I’ll hang with mom tomorrow since it’s required. Then over to pick up my new sand car Monday and take it out to Glamis for a shake down for 2-3 days. Then back home.

Ha! I grew up in Costa Mesa and lived there until I got out 25 years ago. Not all the same issues as mentioned above but plenty of other ones. I don’t miss it at all. 😀😀

How do you folks live in California? I just drove from Oregon to Palm Springs over last two days: 1. The roads are in such terrible condition I’m surprised I have any teeth left 2. The driver’s here are hands-down the worst in the country. 3. Coalinga is the worst thing I’ve ever smelled. 3. I...

Should be a great trailer. Inspect the welds the best you can. If you’re not sure what you’re looking at find a certified welder to look at them. I was bit surprised at some of the welds they had on trailers on display at last year’s SSSS. Not at all suggesting there is anything bad about their...

I hope you will be very happy with Brian/Podium. I vetted him to build my new car. He seems like a great guy and very talented. Only reason I didn't go with him is he had just left Alumicraft and hadn't built any new cars yet on his own. It was a difficult decision for sure to not use him.

Too bad you are not ready for shakedown testing. I'll be out in G next week testing mine. Everything looks great! Only thing I'm not a fan of is the batteries being under the seat. My last car had that and I found to be a bit of a PITA

I'll be at Funco Monday am if I can assist in any way while there just let me know

For sure, I asked for the highest deductible from the start. That’s $1k. Also ditched the collision. I only care about total loss. It’s still outrageous!

They are testing a couple of cars in build behind me. Mine was there early last week. They will only be there a few hours today
