Well, he's in Santa Barbara and the tunnel that Dustin Hoffman drove through
(the wrong way) in the Graduate is only about 30 miles North. Could be big

Congrats, Toby.

Yep we got the Boy hook line and sinker.... now if he ever finds a Tunnel
we are in deep trouble.... Not that a guy who smokes the tires of the line

Congrats Toby... great stuff isn't it?
