Hey Gene, just checked out your rig, how do you like the setup with garage, smart car and bed area raised? Would you do it again or just flat tow a car or use a trailer?

How do you like the Columbia, do you have air-ride on the front axle? Is the 10 speed w/ clutch for starting & stopping or are you automatic? Would you stick to 500 hp + or do you think 450 would be plenty.

I can get my hands on a new 08 Columbia w/ Mercedes 450 & 13 speed Ultra shift chassis at a great price, just not sure of all of the specs and if the newer Cascadia would be the way to go.
