(...) Oh, I know it's fun - I was asking the community out there in general, not echoing my internal thoughts :-). (...) No problem - the "course" is to drive over Steve. We should be able to get all of rtlToronto to come down for this one ;-). (19 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) We've been talking about this. Rock Crawling offers a couple interesting challenges. The first is to build a Rock Crawling truck, and the second is drive it.
