WTF is a hoosier?

I have no clue. What I do know is that we're about to enter Indiana.

By far we're in the oldest car on this run, and quite the sentimental favorite. Hell, even the hardened new yorkers kept turning their heads. Dad keeps beaming ear to ear when someone checks his rig out.

However, with the oldest car in the rally comes some distinct disadvantages. We've had a few mechanical problems; the navigator's door hinge snapped, we're burning about a quart of oil every 300 miles and the battery is leaking. That's the nasty one because the stench is filling the car up. We'll be replacing that this afternoon.

All in all the BMW is running very well, is staying cool, and is comfortable enough.

We're at 820 miles right now and my ass can feel every last inch of it. We've massage angels for sore backs, I wonder what we got for sore... Nevermind.

Lots of pics to upload once I get settled at the hotel.
