driving to philly, please stop when you see me broken down!

ok. so i got my new car. i love it. i've been driving it like crazy for about the last 2 weeks. everything seems to be in working order except for a small rad. leak. i've yet to drive it for more then 30 mins at a time. so should i take the 2 hour adventure drive to philly? am i just being a wuss?

 

Go for it. Almost everyone will stop to help an old car in trouble, besides there are about a zillion car guys in PA ones bound to drive by.

 

Thats neat!!! I guess you did not build that Chevy truck that I sold to you a couple years ago .

 

Philly is going to be well over 400 murders this year. Make sure you break down before you get to Philly.

no it was a bit over my head, and one car led to another yet to another. but i guess thats how it goes.

 

Sooo....whats the details on this car?? Motor/trans etc.........

 

everyones fav. sbc 350, 2 barrel carb, 39 3spd, banjo rear.

 

Why not fix the rad leak?If not carry some alumaseal or a similar product.

 

Why that might take away from the potential kick ass break down story we all could laugh about here on the HAMB Seriously, fix the leak and go like hell.

 

lucky for you there is a lot of us in & around the philly area,we will be on the look out for you!

 

Where did ya get that? Did you buy it from Matthews?

If ya need a stop to fix something, I'm in Allentown.

 

spike,
it came from california

i road in this last night...i dont see why it would have any troubles...unless the bungee cords let loose

 

haha well thanks guys for the vote of confidence! i have a relatively safe place to park when i get to where i'm headed, so im not worried about that so much... i'm pretty sure im gonna do it! so im gonan have fun with it and take lots of pics.

 

where in philly are you gonna be???,maybe we can get get some guys together

 

my buddy goes to school at univ of philly, which i guess is considered north philly? i'd be down for meeting some people. i plan on leaving my house early friday.

 

I'll keep an eye out for you on the side of the road.

 

how bout a last min HAMB meet & greet friday night??/

 

If you are going to Philly I hope you have a carry permit, and bring a gun. Other than that a AAA card is good to have, as they have a 100 mi. tow available.

 

thats for shore,i did give mike my nuber he can call me im quicker than aaa and carry a gun

 

Definitely do it ... with an SBC your risk is limited.

From Long Island, I've driven my '60 with the leaky ol' 223 six cylinder to Pennsylvania and back twice, 3 hours each way, as well as to Boston and back, 5 hours each way.
