Default Getting my car back!

Finally - after being 3500 miles away from my mustang... my parents have offered to drive, as a vacation, my mustang from it's storage garage in Nebarska to my home in the woods near Fairbanks, Alaska. I'm envious that they get to make the drive with a 400+ HP supercharged car (I have made the drive three times in a pick'emup truck)... but now - the money I saved on making the move myself can be thrown into a new suspension!

Yeah - same car... 356 rwhp from the dyno - I'm in the habit of saying 400+ giving an estimated flywheel number since the world is filled with people wanting to compare the numbers the stickers on their Chevy Impalas say!

No way in hell I would let anyone, including myself, drive my car over mountain passes in northern Brittish Columbia or the Yukon in the fall winter or spring. They are driving the car up in late June. The Alaskan Highway has a false reputation as being a terrible road... actually it is a great highway to drive

Sometime in the summer I also plan on driving the car as far up the "haul road" as I can... it's only around 300 miles from my house to the Arctic Circle! My wife is planning a 5.0 BOTM photo-shoot there... how could I discourage that?!
