Well, at least new to me. After leaving the house at 4 AM to catch a flight to LA, waiting an hour for the guy to pick me up, a 50 mile ride through bumper to bumper traffic I finally got to the dealer. Due to draconian Calif tax laws the only way to avoid paying sales tax is to take delivery in another state, so.... a hired driver takes me and the truck 200 miles in the wrong direction (for me) to Ehrenberg Arizona.
We meet up with an on call (24 hrs a day, 7 days a week!) notary public who is ensconced at a corner table at the Flying J truck stop cafe. It was like a really weird drug deal. You slip him $30 and he signs some papers notarizing the title transfer in Arizona. By now it's 5 PM, so I do the only logical thing and point the Fuso for home, which is a little over 1000 miles away.
It had all the requirements for a great road trip. Something new to drive, good music, some new roads, and really bad coffee and tough pancakes at 3 AM. What more could you ask for? A message from the gods? I got it, while rolling thru Bakersfield at 4 AM my ipod, set on random, blasted out a duet with Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens singing "Streets of Bakersfield". I finally rolled up to the house at 2:30 PM.
So here are a couple of pics of the Fuso's first trip down my driveway. Oh yea, it's an '07 with 45k miles. I know that you guys have seen plenty of pics of stock Fusos, but hey, L'm EXCITED!
