Our MV group got invited to the Sparks,Nevada family 4th celebration held at a nice man made lake/marina in the city of Sparks...I loaded the A2 with my display stuff and started out at 0500 ready for the 60 or so miles to the show...Interstate 80 most of the way..speed limit for everyone is 70 mph (except me!)..including UPS trucks hauling triples (stay out of their way!)...the A2 ran great averaging apx 57 mph the whole way....first pic is of the A2 and display stuff..next are of the arrival of the NG firehawk...(many thanks for the sandstorm!)

Re: 4th of july show with my A2
welcome to the group- if you ever get up a bit further north and inland drop by Frostproof. Like you there aren't any other Mil veicles around me that I have ever seen and when I drive my jeep around it gets lots of stares...or perhaps that is me and not the jeep.
