True, but some might think YOU are a gifted driver ;-)
In any case, if the Elan can make a poor driver

Uhhhh, lesseee,
A-V-A-I-L-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y?
Some people don't like the easy out?
R-E-L-I-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y?
Some people just don't fit in one?
What else would you do with one the other 363 days a year? Park it in a barn
and let the chickens roost in it like Cave?
So far, it's clear from

And as long as the Elan drivers continue to hack it up they will continue
to have the potential and most likely will win a few. Again, look at the
drivers of the Tri-point car, Nagler ran every event he could drive to in 97
and Shaunna, well.....

Hey! Did I say every time? NO! Don't put words in my mouth, i don't want
anything from you touching me, I don't know where it's been ;-)
