Made it home at 2:30 after many naps, and also at some point along the way I think a Pontiac Sunfire tried to race me and I was confused so I just went along with it and dusted him while possibly discovering the Probe's theoretical downhill-assisted top speed?

Back home. Unloaded and back at work. We had a great time! It was good to meet a bunch of you!

Theoretically, mine could do 130 on flat ground.

miaturd made it home around 7pm, slept for 10 hours. Challenge hangover... worth it.
Made it (to my new) home around 1am today, the flight up was surprisingly one of the best I've been on considering that it was a budget airline: sufficient legroom and an empty plane that left me with 2 seats to myself, good food by airline standards and good service.
In reply to AngryCorvair :
Hmm, well it's possible there was a curve approaching and I was too scared to keep it flat-out any longer.
Theoretically.
We got home at 10:30pm yesterday.

Finally back in Denver. Mid 20's and snowy; maybe I should have stayed in FL a little longer...

We are home. I'm buying a house down there next time the market tanks, winter sucks.
In reply to Patrick :
BTDT(to MS). Zero regrets about moving south.
Apparently we are lucky to have made it home without repairs
I'm guessing the other side happened at some point because it has beefier homemade shackles with more meat above the holes.

We carry a set of shackles, bolts, springs and bearings at all times

I'm looking in the Longwood area. Come live by me.
Ordered the monster beefcake 1/2" thick shackle kit with greasable bronze bushings, so that'll probably sit on the shelf until the day before i need the trailer next.

We have one whole drawer in the tool box dedicated to that. Tube of grease, bulbs, parts, etc.
