Counting the Sentra, there was over $500,000 worth of cars involved.

I played all of them at the same time. It’s all downhill from here.

I’ve been looking at picking one up as a trail rig for a while now. I am equally amazed they are still in use too. Probably the bastards that keep outbidding me on ebay.
