    Nope had to order it without that ability. They come standard with the white markers that turn yellow when blinking

    Since 70 is virtually shutdown west of Denver I'd have to agree with that assessment.

    57E53195-1173-408E-AD1C-8A42FB853395.png Worked on this today, after changing ps motor, rusty fuel lines. Noticed the front end clunking terrible. $10 torsion bar bushings. Now it’s up for sale. Be glad when it’s gone. Whatever I get goes to my daughter, she’s saving for a house. Bought it down in Ky, for her 19th birthday. College car. I call it the zoop zoop car. Served her well for 9 yrs. Can’t complain.

    Alright fellas, thanks for letting me hang out with you, this old mans wore out. Tomorrow I work on my Pontiac. Front hubs, brakes, and an electric cooling fan. Only 1 fan works now. While idling, the a/c quits, have to buzz it around the parking lot, to cool the condenser. I’m just hoping my back doesn’t go out, got to keep moving. Lost 15 lbs. just by staying busy around here. Be safe. Be brave. Good night.

    Time for me to crash as well. Should get to Redding tomorrow if that fire west of Red Bluff doesn't change plans.

    I'll take a stab at lowest productivity planning.....

    So if you you take 70 hrs and divide by 8 days that gives a total of 8.75 hours per day for driving and on duty.

    Plan for a fuel stop, a DVI, and a drop and hook every day (15 minutes each). That leaves 8 hours of drive time per day. Cali speed limit is 55, most corps figure 50 mph average speed to cover for traffic, hills, and lost time for stopping at every rest area (and cause they haven't updated the trip planning cheat sheet since the speed limit was 55 nationally).

    That yields 400 miles per drive shift..... so almost 2 full drive shifts are needed to cover the 780 miles. Only a half hour of mistake room in that plan.

    Somewhere between more than three and fewer than infinity.

    Sounds like too many miles. I'll pass.
