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

I contacted Kelly, she can't write policies in Oregon. She referred me to another agent Oregon and they are supposed to send me a quote today. Doesn't sound like they know anything about these any different then the agent I already got quoted from but maybe I'll get lucky. Ha! Who am I kidding...

Forecast is improving. Now only showing wind on the first day then high 80's after that. Come on, somebody must be itching to get another trip in before you hang it up until October.

I have wheel nets, the adjustable kind that fit just about any tire. I may end up using those but thought they might be a bit of a pain given the minimal clearance between the wheels and trailer sides and wheel wells but we'll see. I also have the Mac's straps with the heavily padded straps...

Unfortunately weather forecast shows high 90’s when I get there. It’s fine though, morning and evening temps will be good and it only shows being hot during the peak of the day. I’m going to be all alone so I see many I just checked the latest weather forecast and looks like I’m in for some...

Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing it soon. Last time I was there it was just starting assembly. Grant has been really good at sending me video updates as it has progressed. And Gary at C&G was pretty spot on with what he predicted the engine would produce. Only problem is now I have to cough...

It's a longshot but ..........Yes, I know the season has ended. Yes, I know it will be hot. But I'm picking up my new car and have to give it some good shake down time before taking it to up to Oregon. I'm picking it up in the morning on 5/12 then plan to be out in Glamis by that afternoon. I'm...

I'm in the same situation. I'll insure my new Funco for $275k and plan to only file a claim if a total loss. If you think sand rail insurance is bad trying having a big boat in Alaska - Uy vey!
