Still one of my best memories with him.
We've done a few trips together to buy cars, but cruising down the highway with a truck and trailer for 2000 miles isn't as fun as ripping a 4 speed TA lol

I'm planning on stopping at all sorts of cool places along the way to and from TN. One place is Smileys BBQ in Raphine VA. It's basically the halfway point in VA. It's a little bbq shack inside a gas station across from a truck stop. Not exactly what you picture a good bbq place to be, but it was excellent last time.
