Jim,

No need to duck and run but you may not want to follow me too close! The 
car has been known to drop the occasional part and/or large chunk of Bondo 
while on the road.

I have no doubt that if I put my American in a demolition derby that two 
things would happen: First, I'd probably have to be pried out of it. 
Second, you could probably still drive it off the field. You may have to 
drive it at a 45 degree angle and have six guys sitting on the trunk to get 
the back wheels to touch but it would still move. The car's either like the 
Terminator or a cockroach. I like to think its more like the Terminator but 
I'll let you make up your own mind on that one!
