not because I wrecked the truck, but the CalTrans folks were not even aware that the simulator HAD a runaway sand pit.

A few years ago at the California State Fair CalTrans brought their 18-wheeler driving simulator for all to try. Even in that artificial environment you realize the massiveness and challenges of driving one. I gained a new appreciation for big rig drivers.

I mean, we had to get over losing the Civil War but you don’t hear us bitching and moaning about that do you?

That was the Atlantic concept car that had the Neon based I-8, The original Prowler concept had the early 3.5l from the Intrepid, Vision, Concord, and New Yorker/LHS. After Plymouth went away and the car switched over to Chrysler, it received the later 3.5l that used used in the later LH cars, LX cars, JS cars

Prowler, because hot rod. Even though it’s pretty far fromhot”. I’d totally swap a 6.1 liter Hemi into it though.

I have no trouble believing both of these two are big enough A-holes to be driving down the middle of what should allow for both of them to pass.
