    As an example of how far automotive technology has come when I was a kid funny cars were running the 1/4 mile times Mullet is almost capable of... and no way a funny car was able to travel thousands of miles on the street dragging a trailer much less. Heck I think they needed rebuilds after each run and went through a few gallons on a run. Plus they were loud enough to hear for 20 miles. Just amazing what is going on now with this sport. So glad it is still alive and kickin. Drag racing is as American freedom as it gets. But if you told someone back in the day your street car could run 6's or 7's in the 1/4 you would have been laughed out of the neighborhood. Yet it is real now. Heck pro stocks were running 10s back then.

      Well as a father of daughters myself, I can promise you that taking them to the beach isn't as "relaxing" as you might initially suspect. Especially in thier teenage years. You spend half the time begging them to put more cloths on, and the rest of it glaring at gawkers and suspected perverts.

    A full day of so much mental and physically taxing work, and then the highs and lows of the passes, and then to drive 300 miles for hours and hours, getting all these camera shots and working on things for the next day, just to finally get to their spot for the night EXHAUSTED... just to edit the video for the next day before resting.
    And then they do it all over again, and again, and again.
