:sigh:

I wish I could have seen this, but thanks to the wonderful lack of video on the other side of the curtain at the Archimedes field I had to settle for the story, and not the visual.

Hey!! Wait a minute.. Dave, I thought your other car was on Mars?? What is this?? Is this just the "junker" you keep around for the weekends, or did you Fed-Ex the Rover back to Atlanta from Mars, and that's why Fed-Ex won the Founders award??
(wonders what the shipping fee for that delivery was???)

Unless..
<conspiracy theory>
that the pics of Mars are really from a secret government base in the desert and the rover was on the Earth all along.
</conspiracy theory>

Nah, I'm just kidding.. I'll go with my Fed-Ex theory instead, so Mulder and Scully don't show up at my front door.

Hmm i wonder if that would fit in the back of a 1989 Ford Bronco....

Hmm ... if you drive out to Wisconsin before IRI, maybe we can take a detour on the way down to Indianapolis ...

Erm ...

From the pic it looks like Dave is auctioning it off!

P.S. If that robot was capable of hanging we might have chosen it for our alliance.

That is the exact thing I said to our mentor when we saw it down there.

Me: "It's pretty cool looking, but can it cap?"

I think it's just a little over the 130 pound limit though, and I think it might have some trouble fitting into the sizing booth

I was going to distract Dave with Krispy Kremes while I drilled "speed holes" in the rover.

Haha

"Most of you recognize this rover, used for finding life on Mars, yadda yadda yadda. I'm going to let you folks in on a little secret that NASA 'forgot' to tell the public ..."

*whisper*

"Not only is this machine capable of finding life on Mars ... it has a super-secret Krispy Kreme dispenser built right in!"

*normal voice*

"... and, if you remove the doughnuts this machine will weigh a hair under 130 lbs and actually is capable of hanging from a surprisingly coincidental 10 feet above the ground!!! *cough*With a few modifications So who wants to start the bidding? Do I hear $500? No? How about you there, the gentleman in the back, riding the Segway! I'll throw in my hawaiian shirt as a bonus gift! C'mon guys, it's a rover! Now that's pimp!!"

[Lil' Lavery]

and i thought i would never ride in a car with less leg room than his mustang....

I think it might be just a tad over the $3500 price limit!

I like the expression on Woody's face. I can just see him thinking "Poor fool... little does he know that as soon as he has his Krispy Kremes, I'm going to grab the thing and run...."
