Bolivia or bust
« on: October 23, 2008, 01:10:03 PM »
Only 4852 miles from SLC to Bolivia and the worlds largest salt flats. 25 times larger than bonneville and they have a hotel built on the salt. Only roughly 80 hours of driving. OK who's in??? I call shotgun.

Ahhh, but the turbo cars will have a field day in that thin air...

So would a thrust car.  I'd take a platoon of mercenaries for security or end up kidnapped by the locals.  I'd prefer one of the Argentinian playas two hundred miles south.  We didn't expel their ambasador.
