I think there was one afternoon when I was wondering about that. I kept thinking how much money was spent on fuel!! .... God that must have sucked! But hey,....If they gave you some cash it couldn't have been all that bad.

Charger and olds - 8mi to the gallon with a 15 gallon tank = average of 120mi to the tank..That would suck.

I'll bet team Honda & Lotus are getting pretty good MPG, I'm not sure how that Toyota 2.4T is on gas. It can't be too bad.

Good job blew my Trans lines 2x last year to the trans cooler and I fixed the same way you did with some spare junk in the tool box to get home, but I had someone bring me fluid. So I know what you went through, it was a pain in the *** cleaning up the car after that also. Still thinking of going braided line to the cooler.

How much fluid did you have to add at your next stop Mike??

Wouldn't feel bad about not hitting the glas I am sure I couldn't do it if I didn't practice with the car either since the F-body hooks so well.

Sorry Dish was full of ICE, no signal on the night it aired so it didn't tape and finally seen the repeat today. So I am kinda late......

I like the show and am rooting for your Trans AM but I really like watching team Chevy ask directions all the time. They've got to be my favorite. Was it just me or was this week was a little too sappy at the end? Ol boy in the M3 was kinda f***ed not letting his friend leave though.
What kind of penalties are there for speeding anyway?

The BMW team deserves props for what they did, they pulled themselfs out of the comp. and handed it to team honda - which sucked majority of the show. Team BMW did not say "you cant leave now!" he was mearly trying to figure out what they as a team were supposed to do and i believe they made the right decision.
