This didn't happen on the dragon anyway, it was on another highway.
i feel like my world has been turned upside down... black is white, down is up, left is right.

So he had a 3.18 liter truck?

i still got a 129 body surfer sticker out of it though... its gracing the back of my helmet as we speak.

no thanks

That would be a nightmare. I would have to come up with what defines a turn and then I would have to come up with what is actually the dragon that I need to count. There is from tabcat bridge to cheoah dam bridge as the original, tabcat to the state line as the advertised, overlook to store as the most commonly run, overlook to state line, tabcat to store, the entire highway of 129 as reported by the media, and endless other combinations.

It's less than 318 and I will leave it at that.

If you have any reservations about jumping out of the plane in September, I'll just make sure to have a fake spider with me (or is it real, how will you know?)
