You are a hell of a trooper Jacob. You fought with that car left and right and you STILL made the entire rally.
Props to you guys. It was a pleasure to have you with us.

Jake you are a total trooper.. I am glad that you finally figured out the problem.. but you do have a record of breaking down in every state on the rally and two countries that is going to be one that will last forever. It was awesome riding with you and I told you no matter what you were going to make it with the car to the finish line.

we stopped after the boarder and waited to make sure you got it running. (Black Hatch #13, Red Civic #12, Bikes #11) we waited for like a half hour, watching that cop yell at everyone who stopped....as soon as he walked away we started to head over to help you out, then you got it running and blasted by us glad you made it home though

yeah jake, it was fun riding with ya on this rally, and the push start in VT was great and the doughnuts in the street. Gotta love pushing the 7 in the street in canada and having people watch us. haha pushing the car down the street from that lot too ours was one of the funniest breakdowns of all we stopped after the boarder and waited to make sure you got it running. (Black Hatch #13, Red Civic #12, Bikes #11) we waited for like a half hour, watching that cop yell at everyone who stopped....as soon as he walked away we started to head over to help you out, then you got it running and blasted by us glad you made it home though yeah that guy was rather angry, however he did talk to us and explained the whole deal, basicly he didnt want anyone stoping because one car would lead to two, etc etc and he would have a bottle neck. thanks for waiting, i did see you guys however once i got it running i wanted to get moving to cool it off, if i stoped, id probably would have gotten stuck again till it cooled off again Jake you are a total trooper.. I am glad that you finally figured out the problem.. but you do have a record of breaking down in every state on the rally and two countries that is going to be one that will last forever. It was awesome riding with you and I told you no matter what you were going to make it with the car to the finish line. what an annoying problem, FYI dont buy radioshack relays, even if they are rated for 2x your amp load Thanks for the support, would have looked funny pulling into la chacitas being pulled with some random rope by ur truck but hey would have worked never the less unfounatly im not going to try for the break down record next year, was entertainng at times, but the driving was much more fun
