Thinking of using this guy, his is in Houston (pearland) You might have seen
his ride at the Classic. His name is Eric.

Towing to OK seems extreme but I'm not ruling it out.
Thanks guys keep em coming.
I hope to see everyone at BBTS but if for some reason you can't make it, we
will be talking about you.
Oh and an update on Hargerty, I have a case # the Adjuster just left after
taking 30-40 pictures and taking notes. I had 4 phone calls from two
departments. Seem nice and so far OK.
Cheers
