With mixed emotions I sent my van off this morning to Austin for SMB to sell. As much as I loved it at first, the last couple years have seen next to ZERO mileage in the thing and it was time to let...

I'm out this year. Enjoyed the company last year, but I have since relocated to New Mexico. Bit of a stretch to get back to Virginia - and I might be in Africa that month anyway.

I tried bangin on the tank. No go. I am quite sure, though, when they jostle it onto a tow truck it will unbind whatever the problem is and decide to start working.
