Yeah, a garage!

You've also built a grill-block out of snow! That's Genius!

That's exactly what Rex looks like, except outside, and you can't see it well, cause my car isn't a lovely shade of blue :-p

You may be on to something! Easily sculpted and free of charge. I've actually done this a few times by accident, and it does, indeed work (until it melts in the garage or direct sunlight).

Bhazard...

Correct...to beat Socket's second round tank plus his added mpg you will need 47.63 or better on your next tank entry...good luck bro!

If my math ski11z are correct (and they're completely random), then maybe. Sounds right. So if you could go ahead and drive around with 4 flat tires in first gear for a day or so....

Big Dave posted a fine second round tank in his F-350 Red Baron...25.31 mpg (about 94% to his 90 day avg.). Considering he describes the current weather on the Frozen Steppes of Central Indiana as "colder than a well digger's butt" I'd say he did pretty well this tank!

He's awaiting the winner of PTSmith and RH77.
