A Glen Blue FIASCO

[Troy]

Great story.
I know that section of I-70. My car broke down there a decade ago on our first attempt to move to california.
I had to cut speaker wire out of my stereo system to manually wire up the radiator fan to the battery.
Moved back to IL 3 months later

@Lightningboldtz that does put my craziness into perspective...the longest days drive I've done is 1100 miles...my usual self imposed limit is 300 miles so I can go and come back same day without having to stay in a hotel...but this was different.  Also, driving in the west is different than the east.  The worst drive I've ever done was actually Ann Arbor to Boston (wife's parents to wife's uncle).  Too many cities, cops, and low speed limits.  Utah's speed limit is 80 which means I usually cruise at 85.  Thanks for the perspective though!

New member alert - "so I came across this really old baby blue grill anyone know what it is worth?"

So sorry for that, weberitis is so bad for you, you might need some therapy.

Looking for mint rare grills. Will pay shipping if the price is right 

Sorry Crowder. That sucks

[MrHoss]

I feel your pain. In fact I am crying now.

+1  Atleast you did not have to go to Denver and back for nothing. And both of you are safe home after that mishap.  This reminds me of my 3200 plus miles drive to Denver and back last year.

i'm a weberitis traveler too. i've never done 1500+ miles RT though!

the seller is what i call a CL asshole.

glad it ended safely.

great story, in a effed up kinda way.

[toolhead]

what a mess and an adventure.  you are the man..i live the tenacity.  VERY good to hear you and your daughter made it back home safely.

[JDD]

Bummer, but I like your positive attitude.

[varekai]

MEMORIES made... She'll tell that story every chance she gets....  "OH yeah, WELL, my dad....."   
sorry you got skunked bud!

[kettlebb]

Good on you looking at the positive side of the story. Could have been a much worse turn out.

Glad you and your daughter are ok.  This reminds me to get new tires on the Camry soon.  I dont chase Webers I let them come to me, but I do drive insane miles for a chili cookoff.

[hawgheaven]

That's incredible, and a memory you and your daughter will never forget! I hope the thief gets his due from that stunt... damn.

[Neil_VT00]

Sorry it didn't work out for you but as other have said, at least you had an adventure with your daughter. I'm sure she will unknowingly take many lessons from your trip.

I'd be tempted to make a trek like that for the Culver's alone! They're nowhere near my neck of the woods, but I love the burgers. Give me a Sourdough Melt any time.
