    Done. I am sure we have something suitable that can be turned into a trophy.

    Hmmmm..... If I sold off the fire equipment and made a wedge deck out back, I could carry the Cortina. Think it will do 65mph with the 327 and that tranny?

    Subaru 360, possibly one of the worst cars ever made. Can't go, can't stop, and falls over if you try to turn. But yeah, it would make a great Challenge car.

    You do that poop and I will personally supply you with a case of beer. Your choice as long as it's relatively cheap.

    I just want to see how many Honda engines it takes to power a fire truck.

    David, you guys did a Formula Vee once, why don't you [GRM] but it?

    Sell off a Miata or two, done.

    Wasn't that easy?

    Makes me regret having spent my $1800 tow vehicle budget on a big block Suburban.

    Here's my dad's 1948 International KB6 Fire Truck, purchased for just over challenge money. It has less than 10,500 miles. It stays in a heated garage (his Garage Mahal) year-round. Unfortunately, for the two years between service any my dad's purchase, it sat outside and the hoses froze. The tank is rusted out, too. It won't fight any fires, but it is very cool.

    I would LOVE to build a wedge truck out of that.
