Well, Mike...
I appreciate the compliment on the car, but I wasn't actually planning on bringing the X this time.
I was going to bring a bunch of parts, and possibly a 124 Spider, to see if I could sell them there.
My buddy John has to attend his nephew's wedding that weekend. And right now I have TWO hearings scheduled on Friday, and if memory serves, I have something going on Monday, too. And it's a bit too long for a day trip. Also, we used to stay at John's mother-in-laws' condo in NoHo, but she moved to Palm Desert. So, no cheap lodging anymore, either.
On top of all that, I really can't afford the travel right now.
At some point you just have to recognize when it just isn't in the cards.
