You have to have trouble or the trip is just boring! The first time I
drove my '59 to TN (600 miles for me) I broke a fan belt in the middle of
nowhereville Georgia at 2am. Had to sleep in the car in a truck stop
parking for the night until I could get someone to fix it the next
morning... Wasn't much fun at the time but still a fun story to tell new
people I meet at car shows and stuff some four years later. It's kind of
like the RV community mentality. You know it's going to break somewhere
sometime and it's probably going to be a bear to get fixed but a breakdown
just adds to the adventure.
