    I've gotten that question more than once. They seem to be awfully surprised when it isn't. I usually follow it up with "...and its a decade old."

    I would have simply answered "yes, and it tops out at 198mph" and walked away.

    Hahah - I have been asked if mine was amphibious, and it was a genuine question.


    But it was from a female.



    OOOOPs - where is that fire proof suit when I need it.

    Now that food has replaced sex in my life -

    I can't even get into my own pants!!

    It is. Its a cross between a Trooper, a Rodeo, and some Isuzu engineer's imagination.

    I would rather have them ask if its a hybrid than wave me down at a stoplight, pat around my B pillar looking for the door handle before I finally roll down and tell them I'm not a taxi.

    Hah! I know exactly where in Beaufort that was taken. I was stuck there for 4 years.
