SDB, Chuck and I ate some killer bbq in Memphis on our LA to NYC driveaway delivery gig.
Back story for the rest of you:
We were allotted 6 days to deliver client's '84 Buick from Phoenix to NY. We took a little detour - Phoenix to LA - partied for 4 days - LA to NYC in 2.5 days. 85 mph on cruise control driving straight through, back seat was for sleeping between stints at the wheel. We stopped in Memphis to see Chuck's parents and chow down. Delivered the client's car 6 hours late, he tried to keep the deposit. Dispatcher ordered him to pay, said he was lucky to get his car at all.
Once in the city SDB introduced Chuck and me to Alex, we introduced them to Bill Schwarz...That trip was also my introduction to hushpuppies and pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw.
Uh, Steve, could post a slightly more detailed account of the LA-NY drop off drive???

You mean like the bit where Chuck and I did all the driving?
Ok, you did manage to go the whole way without any sleep, keeping the drivers entertained and awake so you won the endurance award. And by now you surly have your license, so I really can't chide you anymore.
