    You guys should make a sticker we can buy that says SC500 with a little outline of the route of it. Kinda like the Nurburgring one you can buy. It’d be a cool little decal. Maybe I’m the only one who’d be interested in it though idk lol

    Ethan, I understand your pain. Trying to back up a trailer the first time is completely discombobulating. The first time I backed up a trailer, I spent half an hour in the rain trying to back up a rented trailer while also being yelled at. Now it’s easy. But it takes a few hours of messing around with before you naturally get the hang of it. Also, aren’t you impressed with my use of the word, “discombobulating”?
    Lastly, cheers from Canada!

Actually make them into furniture pieces, it'd be interesting to see just how creative you lot get. Also, how about the thought of doing Southern/Northern 500 in electric cars. Adding in a splash of challenge with the range.

    Great journey! I'll never understand why so many people look down on old cars. My little Ford is 20 years old with 200k miles on the clock and it's still seeing places. Gotta love them old wheels 😄😄
