Mustang Trip, December 2004
I bought a '67 Mustang Fastback (which we call "Emma") on eBay in November 2004,
without having seen her first. The logical thing to do would have been to ship
the car from Arkansas to California by truck, but instead I decided to fly out
there and try to drive her back home. This turned out to be a memorable adventure...
