Hey, I live out west. Breaking down around here is no worse than a breakdown back east. OK, so maybe the nearest phone is 30 miles away. You have a cell pnone? No problem. The nearest place with a cell signal is 50 miles. It doesn't matter, though. The nearest place to call is 100 miles away. It might be a little warm in Arizona, so bring extra water. Bring a lot of extra water. Bring more water than you are thinking of right now. As far as the tranny is concerned, I have an '81 with an auto trans, and mine doesn't slip when cold. I was just kidding about the cell signal. It should work fine anywhere near the Interstate. Bill -- southeast AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "June Kinerson" <kinerson@CAPITAL.NET> > start? I am quite concerned here as I am planning to take the van to > the Grand Canyon in September and a breakdown out west is no picnic. |
