Pretty much what I was going to say. In addition stay loose and don't think you have to change the way you drive. Do it like you are going to the corner store on a pot hole filled road and never, ever, ever look at the cones! Keep focused on the spaces between them not on them. You look at the damned things you will drive over them.

Yeah. A little bit too strict, if you ask me. And he's a vendor, going into a classified ads group to lay down his own lay? Meh.

I know it won't matter in the long run for them nor me, but I won't be buying from Nameless nor Kartboy, based on the attitudes they have towards their potential clients. Sigh.
It's too bad about Kartboy though.
I couldn't care less about Nameless lol

Alrighty so crash story update.

Talked with her insurance. Apparently they havent paid their premium in 6 months, or the insurance was canceled. Not only that but there were three different addresses, one on her license and one on her insurance car. But different from the one she gave her insurance company.

Lol aw man I get the good ones don't I?

Since the 86 does not have the same advanced navigational systems used by the Millennium Falcon to skirt the Maw black hole cutting it down to 11.5 parsecs, then I'm guessing we would have to take the standard route, meaning we would run it in over 12 parsecs.

That said I suppose a decent speed shop might be able to modify the nav system to enable us to take the shorter route.

We would, however, without modifications to the drive train (maybe a Mr. Fusion install) take significantly more time to run the 11.5 parsecs even if we could duplicate the navigation.

Maybe we should try a crowd funding effort to see if we could raise the money for an attempt?
