I can go around all the traffic and park my SAR truck right in the middle of everything, but I saw all the congestion and lines for the beer thing, and this was only FRIDAY!
Candidly, Expo is almost an overdose of wonderful stuff, 'specially the hundreds of very cool vehicles. You see one that blows you away, and then, a few hundred meters away, here's something even wilder. I have to be careful because I tend to be very… spontaneous about buying stuff (three years ago, I was looking at maybe getting a shirt and some books, and ended up buying a BMW 1200GS). The guy I bought it from had to take a Greyhound back to his home.
My partner-in-crime, Christine, and I have, been retired for a long time - we made a good living raising badgers and wolverines - so we have time to wander around the West pretty much whenever and wherever we want. I really love driving, and am partial to huge, loud, high-off-the-ground diesel vehicles. So of course when I see something like an EXV on a hulking International or Kenworth chassis, I immediately begin salivating. But I promised not to get out of hand and come home with something completely outrageous this time.
Of course, I say that EVERY year...
