I thought this was one of those World's Strongets Man things. I was wondering how far the guy had to drag the car.

Wow, everybody seems pretty sensitive to this subject.............WTF,..........do you drive your kids to sports and expect gold medals in every event??? It's just a friggin car..................one that many people would love to own? I know it is a little redneck but hey, bring out the people, fun, sunshine, and cars. Let's bring some cones and make the course a bit more challenging for cars and equiptment. We are just happy that it stopped raining up here!!!!!!!!Maybe, just maybe..........somebody will see "the car" and buy one! I sure wish that guy was me!!!!!!
Lighten up FRANCIS!!
