We'll see what happens... but it would be kewl to drive X country _once_ 
in the TR6. Incidentally, I figured out a while back how many states my 
car has driven through, and it has been to every state east of the 
Missippi plus TX and Aransas and now MN. So, it might be nice to try to 
hit most of the northern tier states before the car "retires".

We'll see what we can do. It seems to me that there is a semi-long 
standing arrangement with the core VTR autoX folks about having seats 
available. I would not want to break with tradition, so - time will tell.

I'll have my current car and possibly Car Too. I would like to debut Car 
Too at VTR - it's something to aim for.
