There's an aching in my loins...

Time to look for beaters.

 

I talked to a craigslist seller about his '78 Mercury Marquis. Part of me wants to do the rally in huge American boat style. Kind of like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Then he said it got 13mpg on a good day. Let's see...that looks like about $800 worth of gas. Well, I have spent money on dumber stuff than that.

 

Then I found a heinous '78 Triumph Spitfire on craigslist. Sitting for ten years, convertible top rotted clean off, huge rust. That's more like it.

hey i spent about 750 on gas in the camper. we went the first time in the lincoln i and it got good 16-18 mpg. both trials ome tank at 75mph and one tank at 65 mph. 10mph speed difference made for about 2-3 mpg

 

by the way the camper went all around 4500 mi with a trailer at 15 mpg. about 250 gal of gas
