Help Send The F Bomb to California!
Donation protected
Here's your chance to help your favorite tii bomb its way to Monterey California for the “Legends of the Autobahn” event at the annual Monterey Historics in August of 2016! You can help me get the F Bomb and myself out to California to share the zaniness and taint an otherwise elegant event!
Here's the recipe: One crusty BMW 2002tii. One neurotic and caffeine fueled rodent at the helm. 2800 miles each way. Across deserts, fields, highways, and mountains....from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to Monterey California in 3-4 days, at a continuous 4800 rpm.
All of this in a car that looks like it's got rabies. What's not to love?
Basically: I need a road trip. I've figured out that I have enough vacation time saved up, but not enough cash for fuel, tires, lodging, last minute mechanical prep work, or food, for the 10 day epic road trip my soul needs. All of this so I can fully embrace my midlife existential meltdown. I've done two other road trips across the USA, back when I was in my 20s, but now at age 47 it's different. And now it's essential. Life is all about stories...and I need some new ones. This is infinitely less expensive than professional therapy.
Your donation goes toward tankfuls of hightest to feed the F Bomb, two 13” tires, street tacos, about 300 cups of coffee, maybe a truck stop shower or two, and my ability to find a dry, bug free place to sleep each night I'm on the road. And yeah...I'm going to spend some of your money on beer. I'm not about to bullshit you. What you receive in return, will be entertaining written updates of my progress in blog form. Awkward photos. High heat dementia fueled ramblings, and a gratitude I may never be able to put in to words adequately. If you provide me with a mailing address, I'll happily send some beautifully made "thank you" decals. These have appeared on everything from BMW M1s to Volkswagen TDi wagons! Each one is a hero to me.
As many of you know, “The F Bomb” is my 1972 BMW 2002tii. Through incalculable amounts of karma, the car survived 14 years behind a Pennsylvania barn, and was gifted to me, with the expectation that I would save it and drive the ever-living-hell out of it. I've kept my end of the bargain, because I truly believe in this sort of stuff. I've meticulously gone over all the mechanical systems on it over the last 5 years, and spent the entire winter rebuilding the bottom end of the motor, while refinishing and preserving everything else under the hood.
I want to be remembered for what I've done, not what I own, and the best thing about owning this crusty little car, is that it makes other people smile. Help me bring the smiles, weirdo energy ,and decreased property values to the folks on the West coast. They deserve it, too!
Keep checking in! I'll be posting periodic updates here - They'll usually be a link to my personal blog, where I can manage things more seamlessly, and more effectively litter cyberspace. For more information, and to see upates on all things absurd and ill-planned... please visit Wegweiser's Automotive Sideshow!
