Scott should geta bumper sticker
This car is supported by the guys named Joe. laugh.gif
As far as a record. well, I still think I got it. Yes Scott and the tool wench travelled a LONG way. But the time vs. distance ratio is longer. scotts car is a NARP no doubt it is cool. He had a radio (cheating) He also had one sweet girl to talk to (double cheating). Then there was that transaxle failure and OMG the altenator (damn it almost made it). rolleyes.gif
