First of all - Spud Guns have been added to the agenda, along with 'dodge a tater'. I may have to go on anti-depressants after missing this weekend.

Anyway snuck over to Craig's at lunch today so that I could test drive the democross. It was reluctant to start due to a dead battery but we got it turned over. Wow it was loud, and backfiring!! Craig ran it around the block to keep it running, while Brendino and I walked to the front of the house.

A sweet (but nosy) little old lady walked out onto her porch and exclaimed "Do you boys know who is making that noise?" At which point I told Brendan there would be no more test drives and we were probably going to jail since right after she asked Craig came hauling a$$ around the corner in something that looked like a Mad Max prop car.

He hopped out and I explained the situation. Apparently he is somehow on good terms with this old timer so he went to smooth the feathers while I went for lap 2.

Our hard work had paid off. The car was no longer a horrifying death trap, it was now a horrifying death machine. The side pipes will be ripped off almost immediately since they sit about 3 inches off the ground. Fine for road work, but not rally style.

Craig will get plenty of pictures and there is the promise of a professional videographer to capture what will probably be billed as JackA$$ 3. If anyone knows Johnny Knoxville give him my number...
