But I only bought one! LOL :laugh:

Actually I half expected an argument the first time. Surely, by the second exchange. The closest it became to being an issue was when one tech said they had to "test" the battery prior to exchange, and it could take up to 90 minutes. Joe politely quipped something along the lines that we didn't need to wait 90 minutes to know the battery was no good - it was obvious when the car died. The manager then said "unless you have a receipt" - which I was holding in my hand!

What was astounding to me was not once did anyone ask about the charging system or offer to check the car. :embarrassed:

As for the jump starter, google "Power All jump starter"... I highly recommend it. :thumbsup:

Neat, I first participated in 2007 and was hooked. :)

I missed 2008, 2013 and 2015. :(

For the longest time, the Power Tour started the same weekend as Carlisle so I would go to Carlisle for the weekend and then meet up with the Power Tour the following week. In 2015, that changed and the Power Tour started after Carlisle. 2016 was my first year doing the complete tour as a "Long Hauler". ;)

2008 was my first year, which was also the only time they have been to MN. I think they would have allot more participation if they passed through again.

Then in 2009 did the Madison and Racine, WI stops. 2012 I was able to hit the Dallas stop then Wisconsin dells with you guys and last year I made it all the way to ST Louis.

Someday I'll be a long hauler...got enough stops under my belt.
