How far is CT from PA

You're kidding. Look at a map.

CT is east of PA - you need to go across NY and maybe a little of NJ depending on how you go.

Well Alex per map quest its
Total Est. Time: 4 hours, 39 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 264.10 miles
Minus stops for getting rid of all the mountain dew I will be drinking on the way. It should only take me 9 or 10 hours

Well I normally have to drive an hour to an hour and a half to work and the same home so 4 hours isn't a big deal. But colin's trip is rather a long one.

In the past we've had "Merkurs" on the Carlisle show field that look an awful lot like the following vehicles...

Jeep Cherokee
Ford Mustang
Porsche 928
Ford Explorer
Nissan G35
Ford Ranger
Chevy Blazer
Ford Contour
Cadillac Stretch Limo (I kid you not)

What about the Chrysler Pacifica and Hyundai Sonata last year?

We'll have another Merkur Ranger this year... but it's got a Merkur engine and a Merkur badge, so it should be alright...

Look at that emblem!

Damn you Colin! I thought I was going to have the first Merkur truck!

But that actually looks like it came from the factory that way!

Yeah... we had to fix the busted-ass factory grille (from hitting a deer,) so Nick (owner of truck) and I took a trip to the junkyard and got a new header panel and the 93-94 V6 (?) style grille and rattlebombed it... I outfitted it with a Merkur emblem half as a joke, but it seemed to fit the overall feel of the truck, so it stayed.
