Ok. Ric.  I may be a little grumpy so here goes.  Why would you try that in
a 20 soemthing old vehicle with riders?  You get what you get if you try
it.  Sounds kinda dumb to me, but make sure your ER kit is full before you
get started.  Also, the little black pills at the truck stop with the yellow
stripes will keep you up but you may regret it later when you can't sleep
through the sound of your own beating heart from the amp up.  You wanna get
there quick, rent a car. Mty .02.
