>You mean you have the "Super truck" Suburban from Dante's Peak?<

That was one of my favorite scenes... actually I thought it was a pickup
truck tho... when the truck is driving through the lava, tires on fire (but
not exploding) and they pass a small berm and who jumps in the truck but the
missing dog!
What a kodak moment!

I've made my living for years selling videotapes images of Kilauea Volcano
and I was watching that movie with a bunch of US Geological Survey
scientists... man you should have heard them howl with laughter.

Never drove over hot lava, but did but burn the tires on one of my vanagons
driving through a recently burned area of forest fire.  They were smokin'
when we got back on the pavement!  Not too bright, eh?
