That's one small step for Dan, one four-hour flight for Dankind
I made it to Clemson without too much trouble. They took their time carefully checking all of my computer and camera equipment at the airport, but after that they let me through without a fuss. The computer fit fine in the overhead bin, and the box I sent as luggage arrived without damage. That went surprisingly well.
Scotty picked me up in his gold automatic '82 MK2 Supra L-Type, which is good, because my stuff probably wouldn't have fit in the Civic. I had forgotten how much I like MK2 Supras. His gold '82 is a very pretty car, despite a few spots of rust here and there, and mechanically it's in great shape — it only has 82k miles, which is damn impressive for a 24-year-old car.

That's what happens when you try to race a Supra
You find yourself in a 15mph race that ends in your untimely yet quite anticlimatic death.
Back in 2002, to combat the increasing popularity of illegal street racing in Puerto Rico (known as "La Fiebre", or "The Fever/Illness"), the government commissioned a movie to be made (called, simply enough, La Fiebre). The relatively low-budget film was sponsored by Pep Boys, Armor All, and Shell, all of which are featured prominently in the movie (and if you're anything of a car geek, you know why it's funny that Pep Boys sponsors the film).
