    "A picture is worth a thousand words"

    (But I need more words)
    Are we collecting?
    Rounding up stray XS's from the countryside?
    Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada...?
    More details, por favor.

      My only question is how far would you go?

      My dad and I are rounding up XS from wherever we can get them. Drove from Texas(DFW) to Nevada and back. Then from DFW to Michigan and back. Today we am flying up to WI and driving an XS home. This one will be the last of a great journey. I will get more pictures after I get back from WI in two days.
      MY max so far in the car... 4500miles in 4 days, thats 1125miles a day That may not seem like much for a few people, but for the rest of the road weary travelers, thats stretching it to the limit.

        But it wasn't an XS, it was an FJ... and it wasn't as advertised when I got there... so I didn't get it.
        Does that still count?

        Bring it by when you get it to Texas.

        Happy travels!

          I think that counts. Its the drive that matters.

              Well it was a bust. I know it is risky buisness, but thanks to American airlines it didn't cost anything but one night in a hotel. So the quest continues.
