** Uncle Sam has called so its time for a ROAD TRIP**

Well a few weeks ago I got a call from my Lt. Col. Stating that I have orders for school and if i want them, well hell I have been waiting over 2 years for this school like hell if I didnt take them.
I am leaving This coming Fri/Sat 12/3-4 and begin my haul with the EVO.

Trip will begin here in Los Angeles and make my way up to Barstow,Ca and take the 40 most of the way across passing thru Flagstaff,AZ Albuequerue NM then to Wichita Falls, Tx. Come Mid Spring ill have to head to Little Rock, AK for some additional training then head my way all the way back home.

since the call was recieved i have done a few things to ensure a fun and safe trip along the way.

91/E85 tune By Rick@Rallinspired
BC 272 cams
RC 1000
fresh oil change
fresh trans/t-case/diff fluids
New Timingbelt,balance shaft,main seal, cam seals, sepertine belt.

Today she will be getting some new shoes for the trip as well as the RPF's will be gone today.
I will be snaping pictures along the way to have later on and to share you everyone.
this is my first cross country venture.

heres my route


and here is Nikki ready for her trip

haha. per diem + BAH = evo parts... well good luck in school. I'm not a big fan of C130's.. Guess the cramped space and getting the boot out of it doesn't help either. lol. Road trip with the evo was definately fun though. Gas expenses killed me though lol..
