Does that mean Jim is going to drive the '53?
Joe, no worries, you can park it next to mine any day.

Same here! If you *drive* the Ford, it will have MFP status in Camp Stovebolt (Most Favored Parking).

Speaking of ... Mike Roache -- Do you have logistics worked out for Dempsey yet? If not, I was thinking he could go on the trailer with Charlie... Charlie is 19 feet, bumper to bumper. Add a foot of separation and that gives us 26 feet for Dempsey (Per the Maryland trucking handbook, I'm allowed 6 feet of overhang off the back of the trailer). Weight wise, Charlie is about 4,100 lbs. As long as Dempsey weighs less than 10,900 lbs, we're good to go.

Sounds about right to me, possibly a little bit more. My truck weights about 6200 according to the scale at the landfill.
