This sounds like "My dad can beat up your dad..."
Who cares what anyone thinks...
You guys went did it and made it home, so you didn't do all 30 miles. Did you do what you wanted, sounds like you did.
I think its pretty cool that you guys went and used a vehicle is taken for granted most of the time.
So someone else has a more money and more truck and more this and more that. Glad to hear you made it and can't wait to see the pics, and the video if Eric will let me buy one.
Congrats......Good job......atta boy........Cheers.....who cares what those others have to say.
