swoop. i think it was 19 hours. don't know how far it is, but it's a looooong
way across Kansas!

plastic surgery done ... nice. REAL nice. :)

>"Interior remodelling most likely done under influence of really weird drugs"

for sale, in Prattville, AL: 1988 VW Vanagon GL. silver-bronze exterior.
RED VELOUR INTERIOR. the whole thing. dash, floor, seats, headliner, walls,
EVERYTHING was red velour. it looked like it had been done by the absolutely
WORST group of people who ever tried to do interior work. or the drunkest.

>"Most impressive display of ground clearance"

... you mean, while sitting still?? or does "airborne" count?? :)

>"Most times dropping engine during meet"

hmmmmm. never dropped an engine. hurts my toes, don't you know.

how about "Most Number of Space Shuttle Landing Lights on the Front of Any
Bus"???? :)
