Tom I can Roil the tires about anywhere until I get in 4th gear.... the car
always goes straight... it doesn't float it doesn't move it just goes
straight... until it runs out of Horsepower..... ( John Goodman and I have
Plans in the works for Dave if this happens again!!! ) and that weight an
balance sheet I just did was close to the actual one for the car.... except
we have a bunch more weight then that.... If anyone expresses an interest I
will take the actual one and transcribe it here....
