Time to start a fund to rent an hot air balloon. OOOHHHH Or maybe we can convince Goodyear to let us borrow the blimp...

We don't mind giving them free advertising... Right? I promise to put goodyears on my Camaro...

^^^I've been on the blimp before. I was 10 yrs old and it was the coolest thing.

you guys are way off the subject,blimps?? I finally got ahold of my friend at the proving grounds, he works transmission durability. He said there is definitely camaros there .He would not tell me any more.

It'd be interesting to hear what Scott has to say about this. A few months ago - he was adamant that there were NO working prototypes on the continent...but a lot has changed in a few months.

Hey, I was thinkin...... We have seen the concepts and are getting some shots of the mules but..... ya think Yellowbird could get a recorder of some sort and get some sound bites (sp?) of one of the cars rippin' around the track?
I could just close my eyes and picture the orange vert while listening and get my heart pumping again hee hee hee.
Just a thought........
