diverdave Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 For all you saved by using cooking oil, you might have done better by using good 'ol diesel. the Cooking oil is free behind any fast food joint. I've saved over a Grand already by running on cooking oil. The mechanic said the turbo was going to go out sooner or later, it's old. good news is it's only gonna cost $900 to fix it. We'll be back on the road probably no later than Friday. Thanks for all the positive feedback, Michelle is 26 weeks along now and due Dec 1st We're only broke at the moment due to the cost of the move anyway and I'll be back on top in a month so no worries about taking care of my GF and all that noise. We're both well fed happy and enjoying the time together crossing the country. Fort Collins is beautiful by the way, not a bad place to get stuck at all. We started a blog today if you guys want to check it out. www.weliveonabus.blogspot.com Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtrainer55 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I live in denver and was at dia today... Soooo I think the currency exchange is past security and you need a plane ticket to get there...it's in the B concourse I thought. Well then I looked it up and I was right. http://flydenver.com/ServicesDetail.aspx?URI=tcm:8-13572 So you just dropped in went through security without a ticket took a train to the exchange and heard all about the RV? wowie! I don't think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneyMoney7 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well if your dumb enough to cross country in a 1990 bus running on cooking oil with only 400 bucks to your name, Id really hate to think of what kinds of things you will be up to post rv. In my opinion the less dinar you and others like you have the better. Who do you think you are, king midas? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledad Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Quoting: "I was debating how much to cash in when the girl behind the counter asked me why I wasn't going to wait for the RV to be announced. I asked her what she meant and she said the RV happened last week and they were waiting for the announcement. This totally Screwed my head up since I was about to cash it in... My pregnant GF was standing next to me and her reaction was priceless. She said "I think I'm gonna Puke." and then walked away as I second guessed myself on weather or not to cash in any of my investment. " Now, I thought you all "guru knows nothing, but bashers know everything" would appology to OKIE, a real man/woman will react in an honorable way; but I am realizing that, you all bashers, are not men/women enough to recognize that you did wrong bashing and criticizing OKIE. Be man/woman enough and do so! ! ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. That is not true. [quote Airport Changing your money at the airport is convenient on your way out of or into town. WorldWide Money Exchange operates currency exchange services in the Denver International Airport on the fifth floor of the main terminal, outside of the security office. Foreign Money handles exchanges in A Terminal, while you'll find a Money Exchange counter in B Terminal. Look for the exchange counters in the core area near the escalators in both /quote] My link Edited August 31, 2011 by zigmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diverdave Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Guess you can only edit a post once huh? I did look it up and yup I saw where you went. I believe there is more than one place to cash in at the Denver Airport. I tried to post the link but I am not great at that gift. Anyway enjoy Colorado, Fort Collins is a sweet place to visit. here it is http://flydenver.com/services?primaryType=Money+Exchange Yah we really like it here, Michelle keeps telling me stuff like "Fort Collins was voted as No. 1 best place to live in 2001, 2nd place in 2006, and 6th in 2010 by money magazine. We should just stay here." lol, but she hasn't seen the North West yet. We'll see if she changes her tune once we get up to those evergreens and mountains. There is a chance we end up back here though, I can't think of a better place to get stuck, except maybe Fiji but it would take a lot of 55gal barrels for flotation and veggie oil to get the bus there.
