The not-so good news: Once started.. it doesn't...
Finally got it home, glad I had it towed.
Seat don't have much cushion and the cab is a bit tight for those of us with a self-contained beer keg.

Lodi Heavy Haul...
I was initially going to head down there with a can 'o fuel, starter fluid and pair of batteries... then I remembered what the guy said on the phone.. "if its sitting in the dirt field, it was driven there. If its sitting on asphalt, it was dropped there."

Gah, this waiting period is worse then...
Do you know if they will let you flat tow/roll it off the site? I'm waiting for my EUC to clear so I can get mine as well. I also live in Sac..but $330 for towing is a little much for me.
