Hi Nancy,

 NB> else might  NB>> have that as a "name" for their vehicle... :)

 RH> Not original in that other owners probably have had the same idea.
 RH> Yes, the VIN is different on each vehicle but the idea of using it as
 RH> the ID name was probably fairly common.

 NB> I'd expect that more people were likely to name their vehicle and use
 NB> that... and that's more likely to have redundancies...  ;)

Could be, and the Ford computer would have a time of trying to figure
out who's vehicle was who's.


 RH> We picked up our R-pod yesterday outside of Lexington, NC.

 NB> No hiccups this time, good...  ;)

Thankfully, none,


 RH> Had to wait a bit for everything to be set up so they loaned us a
 RH> truck so we could get some lunch.

 NB> That was a nice gesture... apparently the setup included adding a
 NB> hitch or something to your vehicle...?

We had the basic hitch but they had to show us how everything worked,
put the hitch we wanted on the rig, etc.


 RH> Since Lexington is basically the dividing line between
 RH> eastern NC and western NC style bbq, I asked where a good place to go
 RH> to get bbq would be. We were directed to a mom & pop type place, a
 RH> couple of miles down the road. Both of us got the chopped pork but I
 RH> got red slaw, hush puppies and potato salad. Steve got a couple of
 RH> rolls (hamburger sized), beans and a tossed salad. The meat is cooked in
 RH> a red sauce of ketchup, vinegar, black and red pepper, sugar and a few
 RH> other things, not as hot as eastern NC vinegar based bbq. It tasted
 RH> good--the plates were heaped full for a very reasonable price.

 NB> Sounds like you did well there...  :)

Quite so! Really got our money's worth.


 RH> When we got back to the dealers, we had some paperwork to take care
 RH> of and picked up some stuff in the store. We know we'll have to go
 RH> back to the dealer for some warranty work after we get back from our
 RH> trip so we'll try to hit up the bbq place again.

 NB> Now that you know it's there... and worth going to...  :)  So now you

We went back on the 14th--spent the previous night in Charlotte with
friends we'd been stationed with in Frankfurt. Next morning he noticed
something awry so we had to go back to the dealer. It was fixed (minor
issue, should have been caught before we took possesion) and we stopped
at the bbq place for lunch before hitting the road.

 NB> have your RV...  :)   When do you set out on your trip...?

On the road now.
