      Steve...sounds to me like a story on Penny at the Year One event is just what the doctor ordered over at PHR. Surely there must be some petty cash available at Primedia to get her out there. Never hurts to try.

      Hell, right now I'm working through gremlins just to get her to Good Guys Del Mar...

      Clutch.. inop
      Oil Pressure.. 10psi

      Getting the car done before Thursday.. Priceless ;)

      Would love to do Year One though.. The trip there would make for a fun story I'm sure..

      Hey Can I trailer to within say 300 miles and drive the rest of the way? What if I lived in Hawaii, would I still have to drive the whole way? lol

      Steve, if you just slip Tony a 50.00 he'll stay at the display trailer all weekend and never say a thing about it. He's always at the trailer at least he was in Nashville this past year at the Good Guys meet.

      Where's the event? With Steve stating 2k miles, I'm guessing far from California.

      I guess we could do a Cannonball style cash bash to get there. Everybody from the west coast throws in $250 and the first one to the event gets to collect the money. No trailers - bail money extra.

      Here is another question...how many magazine guys have running cars? Can we get them to participate in a magazine shootout amongst themselves? If that narrows the field too much, I'll provide the cars and we'll just test the driving skills.
      I think it would make a great story to see how the editors fare against the readers. Think about it...how could anyone lose here?

      I'll go.

      Honestly, I'm not a great driver. I am getting better, but my cars still have more talent than I do.

      If you want to test editor's driving talent, put all of them behind the same wheel.

      If you want to test editor's car building prowess, put the same driver behind the wheel(s) of their cars.

      (Or whatever...)

      My wagon is almost ready for another few years of punishment. However you decide to do this (if you decide to do it LOL), know I'll drive there in the wagon. It's a car, not a sculpture.

      But, if you open it up to trailered rides - I at least want extra 'points' for bringing a driver.

      Want to make it really interesting? Limit it to pump gas...87-octane pump gas. Let's keep it REALLY real. I bet readers would love it.

      I'm keeping an eye on this one!
