    So, for everyone who responded, thanks! Our home purchase went smoothly after I exchanged about 200 emails with my mortgage guy in the span of a month. :49: We are settled in quite nicely now so it's time to get out in the garage!

    This weekend I finally moved my other longroofs to their new home. Went off without a hitch. Well sorta, I did make use of my truck to move them! The Malibu and Accord are at their new home.

    Don't mind the other Honda, it's a DD I'm putting together for the girlfriend.

    Malibu transported ok. It was nerve racking since the body is not attached to the frame, there is wood blocks between the body and frame. So I strapped the body to the frame and also strapped the body down to the trailer, as well as the straps from the frame to the trailer. scary at first but it didn't topple off! Success!

    Next up was my old Honda. I haven't had it on the road in a year and it's been sitting behind my parents barn. Charged the battery for 8 hours and it started! Rough idle but no smoke. Also the interior still smells fresh and clean. But I couldn't move it. Needed to drag it out and up to the driveway. Discovered the RF brake caliper was seized. Couldn't get it to unlock so I pulled (hammered) it off and tied it to the suspension. 3 brakes is enough to stop a car. :)

    All in all it feels good to have a home for my wagons now. :yippee:
