[DeTomaso] Why you should always DRIVE your Pantera somewhere!

[Christopher Kimball]

I left Washington yesterday and got exactly 3 miles from home before my rotor exploded!  Not knowing what happened I called my favorite mechanic who eventually diagnosed it (it was a strange problem; the screw in the top holding the metal contact was shorting through the plastic to the inner contacts), so I had to wait until today to start the 1300 mile drive.  For the first 200 miles we've been driving through a total monsoon.

Shipping sounds pretty good about now...!

Some people have more money then sense and some people time is worth more
then money. I remember going to Bike week in Daytona  ( while living in
Virginia Beach) and I really wanted to go to bike week, I didn't want to go
without my bike (seemed a little pointless) and I couldn't get the time off
necessary to ride to Datoyna. So the only alternatives were to ship my bike
or quit my job! California is a large state so depending on how far from
San Diego this individual lives from San Diego I can understand why he
might need to ship his car. It doesn't mean he doesn't drive it. It may be
his only alternative if he wants to attend (which he apparently does). I
would say it's not really any of our business. Everyone should be able to
enjoy their Pantera as they see fit. At least he is interested in attending
and having his Pantera there! Many people are forced by circumstances to
attend and leave their Pantera at home and others aren't even able to
attend sans Pantera. So instead of finding fault and criticising ones
choices as far as getting their Panteras to San Diego we should salute and
encourage all those who attend no matter how they get there. JMHO.
