I'd go the extra mile(s) for a fun piece of junk!

Look what I spied on someone's curb this morning on my trip into town!...... 

I HAD to have it! Unfortunately, I didn't have my minivan, I was driving my son's car.  So..... 

this is how I had to transport it home!  No rope or bungee cord, no red flag, just one leg caught on the inside of the truck.  OH, BOY.  So I decided to go for it.  I took back roads all the way home.  Much longer route, and dirt roads and potholes (which only increased my anxiety of it flying out), but I could go as slow as I wanted, pick it up if need be, and avoid others on the road -- ;). 

So I got it home safe and sound.  YAY!  Here's the view from the back.  I think it's a section of bowling alley seating.  I love the retroness of it.

However, it is going to need a little love.  Not sure if I'll repaint or unpaint, but underneath the end pieces is a salmon pinkish color.  I do have a few fun pieces to compliment it.  So I think it was worth the extra miles and worry. 

So how about you?  Are there any items you're willing to take any extra crazy ride for?
