It was $3000. At least we’re splitting it between 7 people. It ends up being cheaper than renting. 10mpg is optimistic. Hoping for 8. At least with that new carb we can tune it on the fly. I’m going to buy a flip cam for the trip. I’m hoping we have to use a run away truck ramp and I get it on film. Shit would be BOSS. ![http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/Englshmadesimple/IMGP1578-Copy.jpg](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/Englshmadesimple/IMGP1578-Copy.jpg) Boom shitty air dam ---
