None of us ever takes off on the Power Tour adventure thinking our old bucket of bolts will leave us stranded. Every single one of us expects we will make the journey without catastrophic failure of a critical component. I am proud to say I've never had to receive any help and I am even more proud to say that I've helped several folks get on down the road. It's a good feeling to lend a hand when you can. I have always figured that if my beloved Mach 1 failed me too bad to fix on the side of the road, I'd just rent a Ryder truck and trailer and bring it home. This year we are taking two cars. That added a little more stress to the preparations.
Then a couple of days ago I get an email from Hot Rod telling me about all the vendors etc... I noticed that the good folks from Pilot are willing to help us get our hot rods home in the event we suffer a catastrophic failure, or "scrap iron fit" as my Dad always said. I've got to tell you, that's a great comfort. Knowing that help isn't far away if you need it makes for a lot more pleasant experience.
My Mach 1 is 42 years old. My Indy 500 F-150 is 36 years old. I don't anticipate using the services offered by Pilot. But, I will certainly stop by their trailer and thank them in person. As for the rest of you, if you need help please call me. I will never drive off and leave you stranded. It ain't my style. If we can't fix it, at least we can get it home for you.
