Did anyone go to the yard sale this past weekend. It's 690 miles long and spans 6 states. Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. The majority of the route follows Highway 127 from Addison, MI in the north to Chattanooga, TN in the south. From Lookout Mountain, GA to Gadsden, AL the route switches to Lookout Mountain Parkway.
I did manage to pick up a set of Mopar Performance Valve covers, the same guy has more parts to sell. Going to check what he has this week.

I've not heard about it.  What is it?  How can it be that long?

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Can anyone really see all of it?  How many people set up for the event?

It's crazy to see how long it is.   :unbelievable:

They were everywhere, in yards, church parking lots, I don't see how anyone could do it all, well I am sure some have tried but me no way LOL .It would be hard to estimate how many people was set-up and how many was shopping. It starts at Noccalula Falls in Gadsden Alabama, that's where I started.

Did you ask about the added solenoid valve?  H'e's tapping into the lo/rev apply & it looks like the location where an vent is added..... At first I thought Oklahoma trans brake but I don't think so.....

Holy crap!!!   :rubeyes:

It ran right past my wife's work in Hamilton, OH, and within just a few miles of our house, but we didn't hear anything about it.

That's CRAZY that there were car parts and everything!

I can't imagine it's possible to see it all in a day or even 2 - that spans 12+ hours of driving (at interstate speeds), not even considering stopping to actually browse.

IMAGINE the business opportunities though if you could set up some sort of a relay-style shipping/transport business to help people at end of the route get stuff from the other end...   :bigmoney:
