Thanks, that would be great! The owner/driver of this car had a little oops with a mini van a couple of years ago but hopefully he will have better luck this year...

If you go to http://www.onelapofamerica.com, there are links to various participant blogs. I know I've seen some pictures in there of that car. I can't imagine driving around the country in that thing...that's just nuts!
