I just act a little showy(kind of like they do), like dropping a gear and getting louder as I drive next to them and slowly pass them (even though they're already running quick).

Then they think, "all right this guy is barely moving(of course I'm hardly more than 1/4 throttle past them), I'll show him what a real car is made of when we get to a light etc...." Oooo quel suprise...
they aren't bad for what they are...which is an economical way to look fast. I have destroyed a few of them already and I am stock as far as everything.

Awesome! Are going to drive you whip up there? :) That would be a sweeeet road trip! There is a Al-Can Bible, the Alaska-Canadian road book that has ALL the sweet stops to make. Such as: turn right onto the dirt path 200m past MP410, go 1 mile to a 200ft waterfall. Or stop at Nancy's diner off of MP1232 for the best hommade blueberry pancakes. She has been making them for 40 years.

I have had several buddies and family memebers drive the Al-Can, and if you haven't, and have the time, pick up the Al-Can Bible.

Are you in the military or??

Is your company/agency going to pay for the trip/relocation?

Cheers!

I'm in the military.

Im debating driving the al-can vs taking the bellingham ferry. Id rather drive but have to consider the fact that that ill have a 2-3 week old baby and enjoying myself on the ferry at lesiure might be easier than driving and stopping every hour to feed a baby.

I didn't a quick google search and didn't see any e85 stations in the Juneau. Probably not a great choice for fuel knowing how cold it'll get in the winter.

In the meantime more corn fueled fireballs!

Cool thing about Alaska is if your kids get on your nerves you can tell them to go play until it gets dark and they will be gone for 6 months.

Thats a good idea. lol

It doesn't stay dark or light completely in juneau though. I dont think it would work. Haha.

On the shortest day of the year they still get 6 hrs of sunlight. Likewise, in the summer on the longest day they get 18 hrs of daylight. Not too bad.

18 hours of kids gone. Sounds like fun.
