    I do so love this story. We often think that much of this was so well planned, tested and executed. And it's only dumdums like "us" that are getting it together the morning of. We all have had moments where things go way wrong and others that go pretty close to as planned. But nothing is more thrilling at the end of the day than when you look at each other and realize we should have never gotten away with what happened back there and this car should not have held together 20 miles let alone 2000. Zip ties and duct tape are the classic joke, but when you roll into your destination beating all the odds of logic and reason it's just so sweet.
