Got some more coverage on MurileeMartin.com.
One of the greatest road trips of all time!
Congratulations!
Hire this guy!
@thunder; powered by M30B35: OK, I'll send you a T-shirt. Maybe not the one I promised, but something. Send me an email.
@Møbius: I've always thought of myself as the Enver Hoxha of Jalopnik writers.
Hey, I'm not disappearing off the face of the earth, so enough with the whining!
@Murilee Martin: We kept getting bee swarms (hive makes a new queen, sends the old one off with half the workers to start a new hive) in the neighborhood, so I did some research, built a hive, and we caught a wild swarm and set it up in the hive.
Fresh honey right in the back yard!

@powermatic: Krider's crap isn't boring!
I probably should have mentioned that I keep bees myself- got a top-bar hive in the back yard.
@Alex Devlin: The white pole is a floor-jack handle. The antenna is a mag-mount CB radio unit. I used to have a lot of CBs knocking around.
@TurboRefrigerator: I suppose I could write some of my "I, Dirtbag, You Cop" stories, but I can't find photos of the cars involved. Damn pre-digital-camera era!
@seanx40: I'll take an S/C Rambler or a Chrysler 300 Hurst Edition.
@TurboBrick [LIGIER]: That's a bike rack, for when I moved to Georgia with a couple of bicycles locked to the trunk lid.
Today, it lives on as the handle of the Junkyard Boogaloo Boombox.

@Obtuse: It would be nice to have a Fargo A100 and a Mercury Econoline.
@CraigSu: I got rid of the beard after working the New England LeMons race in 100-degree/100% humidity conditions. Will probably grow it back for the winter.
@FromaBuick6: Now with more 5.0: My driver's ed car was a VW Rabbit Diesel. Can't get worse than that.
@Nürburgring: Varsity Jalop: Arrgh! Fixed it.
@worthless_cos: I got the shirt from a LeMons team in California. Have never been a skateboarder.
@Clown Shoe Pilot: The Saturn guys lost 5 minutes messing around with their radio's helmet-mic hookup during a pit stop. That hurt them more than the black flag, since a team rolling in for penalty #1 on Sunday gets a quick wave-through in the Penalty Box.
The Mid-Drive Mitsu got zero black flags and had a quicker best lap time (by about 3/4 second) than the Saturn, but the Saturn was more consistent. It was quite a battle.
