You probably passed me somewhere on the way to Kenosha then since I'm between Nebraska and Wisconsin. 

The poor SX4 is squatting in the rear - have to add a bit of air to the shocks to level it out. Loaded with stuff to deliver, plus the twenty pounds of trailer tongue. 

Had it all buffed and polished and the RAIN messed that up. Now it looks like it needs another bath really badly. 
Didn't get time to vacuum it out, so it looks like a driver. Oh, wait, it is!

How does this thing do for towing? I've been contemplating one, but not sure if I can get over having a RWD truck.

So-so, bring a short box and all. My '03 extended cab Dodge 4wd was much more stable. I was comfortable towing a Mercury Cylone at 80mph through NJ with a steel trailer. This one I tend to stick at posted speed. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

I was looking at that or 2010+ crew cab Dodge Rams.  I don't need it to be fast, I just like the look of the SRT trucks.

Hmmmm.
I've been enjoying some Mooseheads in the Best Western parking lot next door as well.

This was our first Homecoming and we had a great time and the weather was outstanding.

We trucked up from Florida logging about 1400 miles each way plus cruising around to all the events and the Car handled it with ease. We got to meet the Eurogang and a few others and enjoyed every bit of it. We will be planning to attend this event in the future without fail.

Vending as Goodwin Graphics I'd like to extend a big thank you to all who purchased items such as shirts, bags, coffee mugs and Vanity plates. Unfortunately we ran out of the Kenosha XL and up tees before we even got to Saturday...I was unsure of demand and went lighter than I should have. Will have more available and will post in the for sale section later in the week. 

Sales went straight to the fuel bill so thanks for allowing us to attend and provide you with some cool stuff!

We averaged 12.5 mpg round trip...not too shabby


Till next time!
