RV and Speed. Really?

Jan 24/17  Weather  - sunny but cool-ish.  60 high, night 35.  Winter storms seemed to have passed and the forecast is warming up.
Hooking up and moving on from Val Vista RV Resort in Casa Grande was so easy, everyone around us was very helpful pushing the trailer out and getting us connected.  Long time in one spot for us, since Nov 13. 
up ahead is the old GMC on a hoist, us lined up for service

this Vette is in cause it had no reverse
We have an appointment in Phoenix to work on our Banks Power System.  Basically this is an add on to boost our performance and horsepower on the engine.  You could say we have our engine "chipped up".  That is where RV and Speed come together!    It makes such a difference; without it Billy thinks our coach has no umph!!!   Since Little Rock, Arkansas our unit has been disabled since it malfunctioned.  Billy called Banks help line and they suggested Chuck's RV and Speed; he has been in the business for 50 years and that is the place we need to go to.  It turns out that Chuck's is "excellent".  They did some trouble shooting and determined no fix is needed AND they have our Banks system back up and running.  For now they suggest we drive it and use it and let them know down the road if any glitches happen; we have to return back this way in a month so we can always come back.  Happens we were the minority vehicle there.
 One other motorhome was up on a hoist - an old GMC classic that the owner has invested over $250,000 to date and much more funding to come to finish it.  Chuck's had all kinds of old muscle cars being worked on.  The shop was spotless.  They invited us to walk around and take a look.   Very impressive, and they have a Dyno too.
this one sounds good - quite a rumble

cool
and another one and look behind it - 4 corvettes on the racks
