Ahem. Josh Sirota rented that Lincoln Town Car (not a Continental -- we
wanted BIG!), and it was shared by 7 drivers:
Josh Sirota
Jeff Reitmeir
Ren Marinus
Rex Tener
Ralph Elder
Kevin McCormick
Rod McLane
You'd be surprised how much fun a Lincoln Town Car with a big V8, no limited
slip (Rod did a track stand during the tech process), and 3" (really!) of
toe-out (we didn't want to kill the tires) was.
